Windcliff: A book for passionate and playful gardenersFebruary 27, 2021 at 11:07 AM The very best books on my shelves suffer scribbles in their margins. Future book sellers will either be amused or dismayed by my vandalism, but I cannot stop myself (and I always use pencil). A good book speaks to you and prompts you to answer back. It is a long and involved conversation over many nights filled with questions, observations, exclamations, counterpoints, wine stains, and opinion. When you finish, you have consumed, and that book is set apart from those you have merely fondled or...Tags: Gardening, Seattle, Pacific Northwest, Marianne, Hinkley, Dan Hinkley, Olympic Mountains, Robert Jones, Elizabeth Licata, Thomas Christopher, Daniel Hinkley, Claire Takacs, Windcliff, Indianola Washington, Rant Reviews 105 people like this.

Dear Scott,
It is Sunday morning, everyone is fed, and there is still six inches of crusty, icy snow upon the ground.

I had thought of answering it last Sunday, regardless of the momentous date, but couldn’t trust you to leave the easy joke alone.

Like Why Do We Have Such Trouble Getting Monuments Of Women Right?February 19, 2021 at 1:02 PM Consider, for instance, the new, widely derided “For Mary Wollstonecraft” monument in London. “Why couldn’t a statue of Wollstonecraft, the individual woman, be seen as universally inspiring and iconic?

About this time last year, I walked out to the barn one morning and found the older of my two donkeys, Doc, laying unresponsive on the ground. He was alive, but barely. The vet lives just down the road and was able to make it out to us quickly–so I didn’t have to wait long for help and a diagnosis–but it wasn’t good news. Doc had some kind of stroke or other neurological event in the early hours of the morning.
