Amy Key—a writer “of rare and strange magic” ( Guardian)—probes the art of living without romance in this soul-stirring debut. I can’t decide which one to start with. But love the mix of herbs and flowers. I’ve not tried this before. Will plant some now. Glazed pots come in so many vibrant colors. Use them creatively to complement your container plantings!For example, smaller vegetables such as lettuce, radishes, spinach, peas and herbs can thrive in small shallow pots. Bigger plants such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and root veggies such as carrots, beets and potatoes do well in deeper large pots. Learning not to jam the flowers into vases really hard has let (Sim) make arrangements with more delicate flowers. That deserves a Bronze Flower Arranging Talent Badge! A beautiful container garden does not have to have all the colors of a rainbow. Sometimes variations of one color, such as the yellows or burgundy colors below, can look drop-dead-gorgeous.

As the album that shaped the author's understanding and expectations about romantic love at an early age, and which continues to offer comfort and sonic companionship, Blue works here as both a device for her to structure her "own chords of inquiry" and the object she reinterprets in light of this journey. Ultimately, however, Key seeks the vulnerability and emotion of the music to decode her own. In thus examining the life she is making for herself, she attempts to cultivate a new vocabulary of pleasure, one which honours and appreciates moments of quiet transformation but also allows for grief, ambivalence, and all the complex textures of life to exist and take up room. I was attracted to this practice in vulnerability, but sometimes it felt like the author's lamenting left little room for finding genuine appreciation of joy. Key's memoir captivates from beginning to end. I listened to the audiobook with great admiration. “Arrangements in Blue” is a must-read/listen for anyone seeking a broader emotional palette beyond the confines of traditional romance. Amy Key is an extraordinary writer and I believe her memoir will become a classic for future generations. Plant list 15: Rosemary, Lobelia ( Source: Deborah Silver ) 16.

Straddling positivity and cynicism, pride and despair, Key's artful inquiry asks us to question our focus on romantic love and consider all that remains outside of it and all that could flourish there, if we let it."
