Bringing in the New Year

Like everyone else, I can't believe it's 2014...already. Every year I ask the same question..where did the year go?  Seems like I put all the Christmas decorations away just the other day, when actually that was a year ago.  I need to look forward to other things, like the fact that my mandarin orange tree is full of fruit. It's great to be able to grow fresh fruit inside during the winter.  

Since the next three months will keep me mostly indoors, I've got reading material already lined up.
Understandably, seven out of this Baker's dozen concern food and cooking, one of my main focuses this time of year.    

Personally, I consider cookbooks to be pleasure reading, but there are also a few good books with story lines to indulge my imagination.  While only two in this library pertain to gardening, we all know that will change as spring nears.

Out with the old and in with the new, good bye 2013. Wishing all a wonderful 2014 filled with an abundance of happiness, good health and delicious organic food.
