There are some Ginkgo tree growing on a street a few blocks from me and the people that live on that street complain that the <br />Gingko trees are 'stinky' - I think it's the fruit that smells. <br /><br />Thanks for the book recommendations, too. I love to read (among about a thousand other things I love to do) so I'm always happy to get some new ideas. I'm going to find these suggestions of yours - sound interesting.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379928851501159312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-14799190132943697522012-11-12T06:10:52.024-06:002012-11-12T06:10:52.024-06:00We also have a beautiful Arboretum in Ann Arbor ow...We also have a beautiful Arboretum in Ann Arbor owned by the University of Michigan.

You can literally sit and watch them fall and soon the tree will be bare. That's a real treat on a beautiful Fall day.<br /><br />And here's another book suggestion. "Wild", by Cheryl Strayed.

The tree turns a brilliant yellow in the fall and tends to drop all of its leaves at once, very convenient. Foul smelling fruit but the tree is so lovely, we can get past that, right!?!<br /> Major Pettigrew was great.<br />Here are others you might enjoy:<br />The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach<br />Wild by Cheryl Strayed<br />Canada by Richard Ford<br />Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn<br />The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot<br />and a classic.... Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, well worth the time. Try the Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition that has helpful footnotes in the back.<br />75 and sunny in central Illinois yesterday.
