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!

You always find the best quotes!!! Happy Monday!
I love to garden AND cook!
Happy Monday and happy Spring!
I love that quote!
You truly do find the best quotes!
Love 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!
Is is spring break there in Montana, too?
I love this!!

That made me smile!
I love this, great quote!
What a wonderful place to hang out!
Since I love to garden and cook, the quote works for me!!
Let's see...tomatoes, of course, wild greens, but NO cucumbers this year!!!!
LOL.

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... :)
Good quote! :) Thanks for sharing it.
Yes, I agree. You do come up with amazing quotes :)
And 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!
Isn't that the truth! Beautiful quote.

What a great quote! Perfect!
I love gardening, writing, and cooking. What a great quote!
What a great reminder! We have to nurture our thoughts and creativity!
I like neither, but I will do the dishes :)
Great quote. Took me a minute to get it, but it's Monday and I'm slow. :)
Hey. I'm contest gal and Shannon is quote gal. WOOT!
I 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 :)
I'm glad you enjoy this quote as much as I do. It conjures up such great visual imagery! :-)
I'm motivated to write... and hungry. :-)
What a great quote - so true :)
Ooo! I love that quote. Thanks for sharing, Shannon!
That is so neat! :o)
thank heavens my writing skills are better than my gardening skills!! I can weed the words, but the garden?? It's buried out there somewhere!
Now the cook though... I do like to cook...
Wonderful quote! Thanks for sharing!
Where 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?
Gardening 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.
That is such a cool and apropos quote. Nice!
I'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?
Great quote! And it is so true--except that I think writing might actually take longer than starting a veggie from seed to salsa.
And happy Monday to you!
So, if I have a total black thumb and kill everything I touch...can I still be a good writer? ;)
I was going to say the same thing as Jenn!
I hope I'm a better writer than gardener! I've gotta be!
