I'm now heading up our ward's R.S. Book Club. The blogging world is cordially invited to read with us. For beautiful blogging friends in our ward, please consider this your invitation to join us on Thursday, May 14th at 7:00pm, location posted in the bulletin.
We're reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.
It's a great Spring read. When Kingsolver and her family move from suburban Arizona to rural Appalachia, they take on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally produced diet. "Our highest shopping goal was to get our food from so close to home, we'd know the person who grew it. Often that turned out to be ourselves as we learned to produce what we needed, starting with dirt, seeds, and enough knowledge to muddle through. Or starting with baby animals, and enough sense to refrain from naming them."
What an interesting, well-written book! Imagine sustaining oneself the way our ancestors did--without Doritos. Happy Reading! This book inspired my inner gardener and made me hungry for good, healthy food from my local Farmers' Market. Happy Reading.
