I send my best thoughts and wishes for both "farmers". <br /><br />You're right about Saul Bellow. Humboldt's Gift was the first book I read, and is probably my favorite. Herzog came next, and was a pretty good read, and is probably one I should re-read sometime -- My Mother had it in her library, and I have her copy. ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-18452927918930124132016-06-18T15:19:43.143+02:002016-06-18T15:19:43.143+02:00We're dealing with another wild fire here in S...We're dealing with another wild fire here in Santa Barbara.

We recently lost our Very Old Vigneron, who until shortly before his death continued to drive an ancient Lambourghini tractor to the vineyards and to prune the vines last winter. He was bent completely in half, as if perpetually about to reach down to tie his shoe, but it didn't stop him. He was tough, like his tractor.<br />That quote is beautiful. I will have to explore Bellow.
