Apples Should Be Red

Reviewed this book 2 days ago but as someone who gardens this scene continues to bug me:
“What do you mean, you don‘t have fresh sage? It‘s Thanksgiving Week.” Mrs. Beverly Anderson gripped the shopping cart handle so hard her knuckles turned white and started to burn." This character is a Gardener, who adds herbs to her flower beds, but doesn't grow Sage. Easy, low maintenance herb. One $3 plant yields years of fresh sage. ?‍? #gardeninginbooks

Crinoline_Laphroaig Does anyone else have this problem? When your hobby is badly represented in a book? I know. I know. I need to #letitgo 😏 6y

Purrsistently @Crinoline_Laphroaig YES, as an avid knitter and someone who took archery lessons it drives me nuts when it‘s badly portrayed in a book or movie.😅 6y

Someone needs to tell the Main character in this book: It's not love you're feeling for the curmudgeon, but the afterglow of your first orgasm; at age 59. 🤦‍♀️

Hosted my Garden Club's Annual End of Year Tea this afternoon. Time to put my feet up with a book and another cup of tea. By tea I mean whiskey in a teacup. 😉
