solitude sunday

solitude sunday at the whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book. any book will do, however, consider those books that have been waiting a long time to be read. share your book with the whimsey project.

this week i have been reading "wildflowers of tennessee (the ohio valley and the southern appalachians) edited by horn, cathcart, hemmerly and duhl.  it is the official field guide of the tennessee native plant society.  while the majority of the book is photographs and descriptions of plants, the introduction was very enlightening.  i especially learned much reading about the geological terrains of the state of tennessee and how the variances influence the growth of the wildflowers.
