the roof is done, the yard projects are also about as done as they are going to get this season other than some branches i'll be cutting back this week. the ground will be frozen soon if we don't get some snow cover and the night- time temperatures keep hitting the low 20sF.
which means it's time to get out the reading list and start getting caught up on advances in biology, botany, etc. and also a bit of fluffy reading here or there.
for light reading i'm going through Joel Salatins books, the first one was _the Joy of Being a Lunatic Farmer_, which was at least entertaining and informative in parts. the repetitive phrases wore thin after a bit. next up are: _Salad Bar Beef_ and _Everything I Want to Do is Illegal_.
for heavier reading i'm into a college plant biology text that needed someone who knew how to write. i won't even list the title as there are much better books out there. ugh. it's like reading sludge.
