Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards.

Download or read book Late Migrations written by Margaret Renkl and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times columnist, a portrait of a family and the cycles of joy and grief that mark the natural world: “Has the makings of an American classic.” —Ann Patchett Growing up in Alabama, Margaret Renkl was a devoted reader, an explorer of riverbeds and red-dirt roads, and a fiercely loved daughter. Here, in brief essays, she traces a tender and honest portrait of her complicated parents—her exuberant, creative mother; her steady, supportive father—and of the bittersweet moments that accompany a child’s transition to caregiver. And here, braided into the overall narrative, Renkl offers observations on the world surrounding her suburban Nashville home. Ringing with rapture and heartache, these essays convey the dignity of bluebirds and rat snakes, monarch butterflies and native bees. As these two threads haunt and harmonize with each other, Renkl suggests that there is astonishment to be found in common things: in what seems ordinary, in what we all share. For in both worlds—the natural one and our own—“the shadow side of love is always loss, and grief is only love’s own twin.” Gorgeously illustrated by the author’s brother, Billy Renkl, Late Migrations is an assured and memorable debut. “Magnificent . . . Readers will savor each page and the many gems of wisdom they contain.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Adams then takes you into the nursery, offering guidance on how to pick the best of the best. Finally, she offers a detailed look at a wide variety of wonderful plants, highlighting those that offer overall beauty, are especially easy to care for, and solidly hardy.

He sat upon a chair that at one time belonged to his grandfather, and for the moment, he was contemplating life. He may have been thinking about his lack of a romantic relationship, which had been the case all his life. Or it could have been a thought regarding worldly occurrences. Or maybe it was just what to have for lunch . . .” Until now, seventy-five-year old Leo Rot had led a comfortable, if basic, life, with his parents in Violet Bloom—the small town where his family had lived for generations. That life is upended as he finds himself plagued by a series of events beyond his control. Family crises, incorrigible teenagers, an intractable rodent problem, and a hidden enemy will push Mr. Rot in a test of wills and character. Ultimately, he is thrust into a key role in finding the answer to his own mysterious happenings while inadvertently solving a puzzle in Violet Bloom’s past. This book tells the tale of how this new chapter in his life unfolds in unexpected ways, forcing the quirky senior citizen and others out of their comfort zones and forging new and surprising friendships along the way.
