The Winding Road Lucia Alexis Gainer
From her vantage point in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley, Lucia Alexis Gainer gives readers of her weekly column, The Winding Road, a unique look at the wonders of the natural world and the simple, enduring satisfactions of a life lived close to the land. Every week The Winding Road takes an intimate look at the latest news from nature and the timeless lessons it contains. "The world rushes on at a feverish pace," writes Ms. Gainer, "but here in the Valley you still sense the enduring rhythms of nature - in the leaf and bud, in summer sunlight and winter snows. They give a sense of assurance that life goes on and will always endure." Whether she is writing about a Western screech owl, the fall color, a Pilgrim recipe for Pumpkin Pudding or the beauty of a century-old quilt, there is a sense of wonder and serenity in Ms. Gainer’s home and outdoor editorials. Readers will find in them a welcome respite from the problems of today's hectic world and an entertaining chronicle of the delights, rhythms and enduring beauty of a Valley filled with Winding Roads.
