I Simply Remember These Favorite Things, and then I Can Smile All Day

Episode 3, Nov, 2022

A Plant:

Acer ‘Villa Taranto’

A fabulous Japanese maple at any time, but spectacular fall color.

---

A Garden:

Coastal Maine Botanical Garden,

Boothbay, Maine

Every time I visit, I marvel at the diversity of plants, the expertise of the garden staff and the beauty around every turn.

A Book:

The Secret Life of Groceries, the dark miracle of the American Supermarket. Benjamin Lorr

Nonfiction – From Trader Joe’s to the harvesting of shrimp and the truckers who get the produce to our stores. You won’t think of supermarket in quite the same way. Fascinating read.

---

Streaming Show:

Navillera (from Korea, Netflix)

No bullets, no murders or dark secrets, but rather a feel good (yet complex) show of a 70-year-old retired mailman who wants to fill his childhood dream of being a ballerina. Sounds crazy, but one of our all-time favorites.

A Place:

Glacier National Park, Montana

Another one of our country’s wonderful National Parks, try the Highline

Trail for a bit of fun.
