The ablest writer is only a gardener first, and then a cook: his tasks are, carefully to select and cultivate his strongest and most nutritive thoughts; and when they are ripe, to dress them, wholesomely, and yet so that they may have a relish.~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles HareHappy Monday!

I love that quote!
ReplyDeleteYou truly do find the best quotes!
ReplyDeleteLove this one...I love to cook and have once before laughed out loud at how writing & cooking can go hand in hand.
I always smile when I think of Stone Soup. That book is a wonderful example of this concept... ;o)
I wasn't motivated (Monday, and all) but now I am!
ReplyDeleteIs is spring break there in Montana, too?
I love this!!

Awesome quote Shannon! Only thing that worries me? I'm a HORRIBLE gardner. I can barely grow weeds. Hope that doesn't say something about my writing... :)
ReplyDeleteGood quote! :) Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. You do come up with amazing quotes :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't realize you lived in Montana! I have a friend in Montana, and I totally want to visit that state sometime.
What a great quote!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth! Beautiful quote.
ReplyDeleteWinged Writer
What a great quote! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love gardening, writing, and cooking. What a great quote!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder! We have to nurture our thoughts and creativity!
ReplyDeleteI like neither, but I will do the dishes :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quote. Took me a minute to get it, but it's Monday and I'm slow. :)
ReplyDeleteHey. I'm contest gal and Shannon is quote gal. WOOT!
ReplyDeleteI loves me a good quote.
I'm unplugging for a couple weeks to get everything in order to query. So I will pop in from time to time, because if I don't, I will miss you terribly. Happy writing. (^_^)
Such a great quote! I love to garden, cook and write. Very fitting :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoy this quote as much as I do. It conjures up such great visual imagery! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm motivated to write... and hungry. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote - so true :)
ReplyDeleteOoo! I love that quote. Thanks for sharing, Shannon!
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat! :o)
ReplyDeletethank heavens my writing skills are better than my gardening skills!! I can weed the words, but the garden?? It's buried out there somewhere!
ReplyDeleteNow the cook though... I do like to cook...
Wonderful quote! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find these great quotes? I love to cook, but I'm not much of a gardener. Is that why I have such a hard time coming up with new ideas?
ReplyDeleteGardening and cooking...is that what we're doing? Hmm. yep. The pic is funny. The dirt looks like a foot with a big toe sticking out.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool and apropos quote. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI've nominated you for an award over on my blog as well.
Hmmm...I'm going to a gardening class on Wednesday. Will that make me a better writer?
ReplyDeleteGreat quote! And it is so true--except that I think writing might actually take longer than starting a veggie from seed to salsa.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy Monday to you!
So, if I have a total black thumb and kill everything I touch...can I still be a good writer? ;)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same thing as Jenn!
ReplyDeleteI hope I'm a better writer than gardener! I've gotta be!
