While reading any book, I mark pages with little sticky notes for future reference, or just because I love what was written. I stopped doing that with Frederick Livingston's new book 'Trees Are Bridges to the Sky' because I had marked every page. This book is filled with ideas, facts, research and lots of hope and compassion. Climate Change is a topic we should all care about because it impacts all of us on this planet. Frederick writes from his heart about things can be changed and things we can do better to benefit all life on Earth.

The Beginner’s Guide to Growing Herbs and Their Culinary, Medicinal and Mystical Properties by Gary Carter is an interesting read whether you are a gardener, a cook, or just looking for new information. Carter has delved into European, Ancient Greek and Native American lore and more, to find the many ways people have used herbs through the ages and what was believed were their mystical and medical uses. Pick it up and open to any page to learn about herbs and a bit of history as well.
