This book is a collection of essays about nature and gardening, selected from Sally Roth's popular newspaper columns. It's a book to open anywhere and read a few pages, or as much as you want. You'll find all sorts of fun info about birds, wildflowers, hummingbirds, butterflies, and everything else under the sun, in hundreds of quick, easy-read essays. But you'll also find a love story woven in, and not only with Nature. A very human story about two misfits who somehow managed to find each other and live happily ever after. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you bought Nature Ramblings Vols I & II (the books with a red cardinal and a blue Steller's jay on the covers), this is almost the same collection. We've retired those editions, and combined most of those essays into this single book, with new copy that focuses on our own love affair with Nature and with each other. Thanks -Sally & Matt
