Stefanie: you should. I think you'd really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteCrissy: Field Notes is such a fabulous book. I have my son reading it now. Are you going to read it once your husband's finished?

The Ha-Ha: A Novel a couple of years ago (loved it) and discovered that "Ha-Ha" was a term in formal landscaping around the time of Capability Brown.
It's even more fun seeing the hoodoos, D.O., if you're interested in a horseback riding trip in October. . .
ReplyDeleteJenclair, the term "ha-ha" isn't in the book, unfortunately.
