Scratch another book off my pulitzer list – The Good Earth by Pearl Buck. Kind of brought me back to my high school AP English classes, as it’s a historical fiction, but becoming immersed in another culture is always interesting. It puts our own lives into quite a different perspective (like, maybe it’s not as hard as we think it is).
More updates on my big 3-0 list, I am in the process of growing some dhalias and they have sprouted and if this heat ever dies down, they might stay alive. Although 10 days of 90+ degree heat and they are still alive shows that they really aren’t that hard to take care of. Throw them in the dirt, make sure they get some water once in a while and you should be good. I think I’m going to tear everything else out of my yard because everything else I plant dies instantly.
