eub | Green Leaf Books is dormant

On Friday I walked over to Green Leaf, and found the front room all awry, and the back room all but empty, and the owner up on a ladder taking down the lights. She is not making the rent here, so is closing up, will be online and do the Sunday Market, and look for a smaller space. I wished her luck. From among the books still unboxed I saw the Jürgen Dahl book that I'd always eyed in passing, and also a Freeman Patterson book about his garden (which intergrades into hundreds of acres of nature preserve) that I'd never seen, and got those.

It was a wonderful bookstore, and I hope she can bring it back. I found the cheesemaking book there, and very soon this spring I will drill holes for orchard mason bees in accordance with the orchard mason bee book, and I have the book with the soil strata of Mount Rainier. I did not get the one about all of the lemon-scented herbs, but it may turn up again.
