After a beautiful weekend made for long, meandering walks, puttering around the garden, and lazing with a good book in the backyard, I have flowers on the brain. I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I cannot resist a book with a fetching floral cover. Thankfully, we have many books with gorgeous blossoms and verdant foliage on the cover at Meinders Library.
