I’ll be adding lists of more books that I use frequently. Like gardening, seed saving and growing and using herbs. This is a photo of Old Bessy. She is our 1979 Ford ranch truck. She might not look like much but is still going strong.
COOKBOOKS:
These are a few of my favorite cookbooks. Some are good old friends that are well used. I don’t like fussy cooking or entertaining so I won’t recommend books on how to fold a napkin into a bird. If I did that, it means that I have way too much free time. LOL! Anyway, good reading!
