@ Dee/reddirtramblings “She does love the wacky. That’s for sure.”

No wonder she ended up in South Austin!

I agree with what you wrote, in Robin’s book we can find stories about people as crazy about gardening as some of us. Or weirder. I enjoyed reading it, having read it for the first time for the book club.

Thanks for joining in for the book club again.

It is amazing there are people weirder than I am! I missed meeting her too at Spring Fling, but I did enjoy reading her book. It does read like a collection of short stories.

Lori went home with my 10-year old copy after Spring Fling so I’m not posting a review but am enjoying your take, Kathy. How did we both just miss meeting Robin that day?

When I bought the book we lived in IL – a Hatch pepper meant nothing to me – but that chapter jumped out when I reread the book after moving to Texas.

I picked it up again and started reading it. Plan to write my post tomorrow or Thurs. I think she has a wonderful voice and she conveys a great sense of place. She does love the wacky. That’s for sure.~~Dee

Thanks for that quick review, Kathy. I’d never heard of this book, but it sounds like yet another amazon.com purchase is around the corner for me.
