Ruth Imogen Stout:
(June 14, 1884 – August 22, 1980).
American author best known for her “No-Work” gardening books and techniques.
On those brilliant and, at the same time, mellow days which we get once in a while in February, when the sun is so warm that it seems to ignore your clothes and touch your skin, I would go out to the vegetable garden to see if the ground wasn’t beginning to thaw a little bit. I don’t know what I had in mind to do if it was thawing. Cheer, I suppose.
