Don't want to over-kill the "greatness" (is that a word) but I too must
mention the peaceful feeling that I experience whenever I pick up that
book. After a long day in office being challenged by 20-25 part time
employees and 300+ customers (we have a house-cleaning service that
supports our iris habit and us) any heavy reading is OUT, to me the book
even feels good to hold. Now that statement should really start a new
line of thought. Lorraine at Woodland Iris Garden.
