Aro dot net is a fantastic place to grow inside
2
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.559
your world of podcasts listening. Come on now, it's like there,
3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:09.320
but what do you want to listen to? Can I
4
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:10.160
have a choice? Please?
5
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:10.480
Right?
6
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.000
Well, that's why we designed Arrow dot net A r
7
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.879
r oe dot Net. I mean, we're talking with ya authors.
8
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.320
How about those people that work at an actual grocery
9
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.600
store on CTCs Footy Paradise beyond the calling the choice
10
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.800
as well as my day of play. There is so
11
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.839
much to choose from twenty different podcasts to fit into
12
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.320
your day. Enjoy your exploration on aro dot net A
13
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.719
r r oe dot net. Hi Ero, how are you doing?
14
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.240
Miss Margaret? My superhero when it comes to the outside world,
15
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.560
because I like being a nature freak like you.
16
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.920
I can hear it in your voice. Barah, you're into this,
17
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:49.320
the whole wild.
18
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.799
World, Margaret. If you knew where I was right now,
19
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.920
I'm in the center of a state forest and we
20
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.399
just endured twenty five degrees last night. The pipes are frozen,
21
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.920
and you're sitting there going I love nature, I love
22
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.439
how it bites me and we still grow forward and
23
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.599
you've got to be the same way.
24
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.799
Well, it was seventeen. Here last night we're ready to spring,
25
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.079
but it is still February. So this is how it's
26
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:13.640
supposed to go.
27
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.400
Well, you really ignited me with the wheedy garden because
28
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:17.959
one of the things that you that you really do
29
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.000
cover in this is that you know the pesky hungry squirrel.
30
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:22.959
Do you know where do they know where to go
31
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.040
to plant their acorns? And just recently I found out
32
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.920
where it is. They want the softest ground possible. They
33
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.040
don't want to dig. What have you found?
34
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.159
Well, that's why there's if you look closely at that
35
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.480
page in the wheaedy Garden, the acorn this squirrel hid
36
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.319
in the soil last fall has actually turned into a
37
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.480
baby oak tree in the picture. So yes, they do
38
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.560
plant those acorns in the garden because the garden has
39
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.840
soft turn into soil in it, unlike the heart ground
40
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:55.439
of the yard.
41
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.680
See, I won't get rid of those those little seedlings
42
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.319
of the acorns. Them grow in my forest because I
43
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.120
have one in South Charlott of forest, and I allow
44
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.439
that to happen because it's nature doing what nature does.
45
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.719
And who am I to go in there and interrupt nature.
46
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.800
Well it's a good point, and really nature is going
47
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.960
to be busy interrupting itself anyway, because if you get
48
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.879
here or you have chipmunks, somebody is going to go
49
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.960
in there and eat most of those oak seedlings anyway.
50
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.240
So it's the rare acorn that turns into a mighty oak.
51
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.159
But that's what acorns are for, there to feed our
52
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.080
wild neighbors.
53
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.639
I'm glad that you think like that, because I've got
54
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.680
wild grapes by the lake here, and the thing is
55
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.759
is that I don't go out there to pick those grapes.
56
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.599
What we do is we allow them to be there
57
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.719
for the migratory birds that are going to be coming
58
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.560
down and they need that fuel to get to other
59
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:45.560
areas of the planet.
60
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.479
That's exactly right. That's why I don't pick my deadhead.
61
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.719
Gardeners call it dead heading when you pick the spent
62
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.680
ballooms off so that the plant will make new ballooms.
63
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.199
I let those ballooms go to seeds, as the migratory
64
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.319
birds need those seeds on their way south for the winter.
65
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.360
So now, how do you handle a wheaty garden? Because
66
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.520
my father did not like a wheedy garden up there
67
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.680
in Montana, and we would spend every weekend weeding the garden,
68
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.240
and I'm going, please, this has got to be natural, man.
69
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.439
Let the weeds grow.
70
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.400
Well. Some of the weeds you do want to grow,
71
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.159
but there are other weeds that it's best to pull out.
72
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.039
There are, among us invasive species like chickweed and creeping
73
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.280
Charlie right that if you don't pull out, it will
74
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.280
it will choke out the flowers. But when I talk
75
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.680
about a wheaedy garden, I'm talking really about a wildflower garden.
76
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:40.120
Nice.
77
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.879
So many of our wildflowers were considered by our ancestors
78
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.080
to be nuisance plants that the words the common names
79
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.439
often have weed built right into the name. So you
80
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.199
talk about milkweed, for example, But milkweed is the sole
81
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.800
plant that a monarch butterfly can lay her eggs on.
82
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.479
So if you don't have milk weed, you won't have milk,
83
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.280
you won't have monarch caterpillars, and you won't have the
84
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.319
next generation of monarch butterflies. So the weeds in the
85
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.520
weedy garden aren't true weeds. They're wildflowers that others think
86
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.439
of as weeds, but that if we cultivate, or often
87
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.920
they just show up on their own, they are the
88
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.399
seeds are brought in on the backs of wild animals,
89
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.519
are in the bellies of birds, and if we let
90
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.920
them grow, then we are going to have even more
91
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.040
wild creatures to share our ecosystems with.
92
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.439
Please do not move. There's more with Margaret coming up next.
93
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.920
The name of the book, and I'm telling you inside
94
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.879
my heart because I've experienced the book. It is for
95
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.519
all ages, but it is geared toward the younger people.
96
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.480
The weedy garden. I always want to write a love
97
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.240
song when people start knocking down what you know, the
98
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.839
Queensland lace, because I think Queensland lace is a beautiful,
99
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.040
beautiful flower, and people go, it's a weed. Go rid
100
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.079
of the weed, and I'm going to that's a beautiful flower.
101
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.560
Fall in love with it.
102
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.720
It's the way we are taught to manage our gardens
103
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.879
is very destructive. If we see a hole in a leaf,
104
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.199
we think pest yes. But in truth, if we see
105
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.439
a hole in a leaf, it means that a butterfly
106
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.279
or a moth has laid its eggs on that leaf,
107
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.600
and it means we're doing something right. It means that
108
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.959
we've allowed the right flowers to grow. Because if you
109
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.040
don't have caterpillars, then the mama birds won't have anything
110
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.480
to feed their babies. So it's a very inconnected Yes,
111
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.920
it's a very interconnected world, and we have forgotten that.
112
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.639
But I'll tell you what children have not forgotten it.
113
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.480
If you have a three year old, or a four
114
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.920
year old or a five year old, handy, watch what
115
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.519
they do when they walk out into the wild world.
116
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.399
They will immediately squat to get a closer look. See.
117
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.800
And that's what I love about this Yeah, that's exactly
118
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:56.800
the reason why I love this book is because you're
119
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.120
going after the right age group, and at the same time,
120
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.519
it's also entertaining people like myself because now we have
121
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.120
someone we can talk with and grow with. When you
122
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:10.160
plant an idea like that to a younger reader, you know,
123
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:10.800
I think.
124
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.120
That that is true. But I also think that in
125
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.720
some ways we can take our lead from those children.
126
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.639
We don't need to teach them that, we just need
127
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.519
to let them be themselves. Children are automatically interested and
128
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.360
they can show us the way. They can show us
129
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.360
what we've forgotten as adults.
130
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.439
Wow, seven minutes with you is not enough. Where can
131
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.399
people go to get more information about you? This book
132
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.120
and everything that you've dedicated your life to because you're
133
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.199
really all about growing forward.
134
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.160
Well, I have a website, Margaret Wrinkle dot com, but
135
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.399
you don't need to know very much about me to
136
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.839
appreciate the Weedy Garden. I think it's really for children,
137
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.240
with a little bit of extra information in the back
138
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.720
for the grown ups in their lives. And the book
139
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.800
is out today, so it's available anywhere you like to
140
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:03.360
get books.
141
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.319
And the illustration is absolutely phenomenal. We didn't even get
142
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:07.800
to touch on that, but I really think that we
143
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.439
should honor that person too, which I believe is a
144
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:11.480
relative of yours.
145
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:17.800
Is it not. It is the artist who made these lavish, extravagant,
146
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:23.759
beautifully colorful artworks is my baby brother. I knew it.
147
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.920
God Man, please come back to this show. The door
148
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.399
is always going to be open for you.
149
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.720
Have me anytime. I really enjoyed talking with you.
150
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.399
You'd be brilliant today. Okay, and keep loving those plants.
151
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:38.319
Thank you.
152
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:38.680
Eric.

14
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.240
Miss Margaret? My superhero when it comes to the outside world,
15
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.560
because I like being a nature freak like you.
16
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.920
I can hear it in your voice. Barah, you're into this,
17
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:49.320
the whole wild.
18
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.799
World, Margaret. If you knew where I was right now,
19
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.920
I'm in the center of a state forest and we
20
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.399
just endured twenty five degrees last night. The pipes are frozen,
21
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.920
and you're sitting there going I love nature, I love
22
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.439
how it bites me and we still grow forward and
23
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.599
you've got to be the same way.
24
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.799
Well, it was seventeen. Here last night we're ready to spring,
25
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.079
but it is still February. So this is how it's
26
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:13.640
supposed to go.
27
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.400
Well, you really ignited me with the wheedy garden because
28
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:17.959
one of the things that you that you really do
29
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.000
cover in this is that you know the pesky hungry squirrel.
30
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:22.959
Do you know where do they know where to go
31
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.040
to plant their acorns? And just recently I found out
32
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.920
where it is. They want the softest ground possible. They
33
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.040
don't want to dig. What have you found?
34
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.159
Well, that's why there's if you look closely at that
35
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.480
page in the wheaedy Garden, the acorn this squirrel hid
36
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.319
in the soil last fall has actually turned into a
37
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.480
baby oak tree in the picture. So yes, they do
38
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.560
plant those acorns in the garden because the garden has
39
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.840
soft turn into soil in it, unlike the heart ground
40
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:55.439
of the yard.
41
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.680
See, I won't get rid of those those little seedlings
42
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.319
of the acorns. Them grow in my forest because I
43
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.120
have one in South Charlott of forest, and I allow
44
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.439
that to happen because it's nature doing what nature does.
45
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.719
And who am I to go in there and interrupt nature.
46
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.800
Well it's a good point, and really nature is going
47
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.960
to be busy interrupting itself anyway, because if you get
48
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.879
here or you have chipmunks, somebody is going to go
49
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.960
in there and eat most of those oak seedlings anyway.
50
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.240
So it's the rare acorn that turns into a mighty oak.
51
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.159
But that's what acorns are for, there to feed our
52
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.080
wild neighbors.
53
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.639
I'm glad that you think like that, because I've got
54
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.680
wild grapes by the lake here, and the thing is
55
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.759
is that I don't go out there to pick those grapes.
56
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.599
What we do is we allow them to be there
57
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.719
for the migratory birds that are going to be coming
58
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.560
down and they need that fuel to get to other
59
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:45.560
areas of the planet.
60
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.479
That's exactly right. That's why I don't pick my deadhead.
61
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.719
Gardeners call it dead heading when you pick the spent
62
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.680
ballooms off so that the plant will make new ballooms.
63
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.199
I let those ballooms go to seeds, as the migratory
64
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.319
birds need those seeds on their way south for the winter.
65
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.360
So now, how do you handle a wheaty garden? Because
66
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.520
my father did not like a wheedy garden up there
67
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.680
in Montana, and we would spend every weekend weeding the garden,
68
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.240
and I'm going, please, this has got to be natural, man.
69
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.439
Let the weeds grow.
70
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.400
Well. Some of the weeds you do want to grow,
71
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.159
but there are other weeds that it's best to pull out.
72
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.039
There are, among us invasive species like chickweed and creeping
73
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.280
Charlie right that if you don't pull out, it will
74
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.280
it will choke out the flowers. But when I talk
75
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.680
about a wheaedy garden, I'm talking really about a wildflower garden.
76
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:40.120
Nice.
77
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.879
So many of our wildflowers were considered by our ancestors
78
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.080
to be nuisance plants that the words the common names
79
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.439
often have weed built right into the name. So you
80
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.199
talk about milkweed, for example, But milkweed is the sole
81
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.800
plant that a monarch butterfly can lay her eggs on.
82
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.479
So if you don't have milk weed, you won't have milk,
83
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.280
you won't have monarch caterpillars, and you won't have the
84
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.319
next generation of monarch butterflies. So the weeds in the
85
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.520
weedy garden aren't true weeds. They're wildflowers that others think
86
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.439
of as weeds, but that if we cultivate, or often
87
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.920
they just show up on their own, they are the
88
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.399
seeds are brought in on the backs of wild animals,
89
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.519
are in the bellies of birds, and if we let
90
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.920
them grow, then we are going to have even more
91
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.040
wild creatures to share our ecosystems with.
92
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.439
Please do not move. There's more with Margaret coming up next.
93
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.920
The name of the book, and I'm telling you inside
94
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:42.879
my heart because I've experienced the book. It is for
95
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.519
all ages, but it is geared toward the younger people.
96
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.480
The weedy garden. I always want to write a love
97
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.240
song when people start knocking down what you know, the
98
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.839
Queensland lace, because I think Queensland lace is a beautiful,
99
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.040
beautiful flower, and people go, it's a weed. Go rid
100
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.079
of the weed, and I'm going to that's a beautiful flower.
101
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.560
Fall in love with it.
102
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.720
It's the way we are taught to manage our gardens
103
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.879
is very destructive. If we see a hole in a leaf,
104
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.199
we think pest yes. But in truth, if we see
105
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.439
a hole in a leaf, it means that a butterfly
106
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.279
or a moth has laid its eggs on that leaf,
107
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.600
and it means we're doing something right. It means that
108
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.959
we've allowed the right flowers to grow. Because if you
109
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.040
don't have caterpillars, then the mama birds won't have anything
110
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.480
to feed their babies. So it's a very inconnected Yes,
111
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.920
it's a very interconnected world, and we have forgotten that.
112
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.639
But I'll tell you what children have not forgotten it.
113
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.480
If you have a three year old, or a four
114
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.920
year old or a five year old, handy, watch what
115
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.519
they do when they walk out into the wild world.
116
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.399
They will immediately squat to get a closer look. See.
117
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.800
And that's what I love about this Yeah, that's exactly
118
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:56.800
the reason why I love this book is because you're
119
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.120
going after the right age group, and at the same time,
120
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.519
it's also entertaining people like myself because now we have
121
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.120
someone we can talk with and grow with. When you
122
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:10.160
plant an idea like that to a younger reader, you know,
123
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:10.800
I think.
124
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.120
That that is true. But I also think that in
125
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.720
some ways we can take our lead from those children.
126
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.639
We don't need to teach them that, we just need
127
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.519
to let them be themselves. Children are automatically interested and
128
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.360
they can show us the way. They can show us
129
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.360
what we've forgotten as adults.
130
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.439
Wow, seven minutes with you is not enough. Where can
131
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.399
people go to get more information about you? This book
132
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.120
and everything that you've dedicated your life to because you're
133
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.199
really all about growing forward.
134
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.160
Well, I have a website, Margaret Wrinkle dot com, but
135
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.399
you don't need to know very much about me to
136
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.839
appreciate the Weedy Garden. I think it's really for children,
137
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.240
with a little bit of extra information in the back
138
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.720
for the grown ups in their lives. And the book
139
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.800
is out today, so it's available anywhere you like to
140
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:03.360
get books.
141
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.319
And the illustration is absolutely phenomenal. We didn't even get
142
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:07.800
to touch on that, but I really think that we
143
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.439
should honor that person too, which I believe is a
144
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:11.480
relative of yours.
145
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:17.800
Is it not. It is the artist who made these lavish, extravagant,
146
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:23.759
beautifully colorful artworks is my baby brother. I knew it.
147
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.920
God Man, please come back to this show. The door
148
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.399
is always going to be open for you.
149
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.720
Have me anytime. I really enjoyed talking with you.
150
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.399
You'd be brilliant today. Okay, and keep loving those plants.
151
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:38.319
Thank you.
152
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:38.680
Eric.
