a super issue

What a pleasure it was to read your April 14 issue. The illustrations by Susan Ragsdale in “A Perennial Primer” and the garden articles were super. I plan to mount and hang her artwork. I also loved the photos of the Paynes’ colorful home (“A Bit of Whimsy Produces ‘Restful Comfort’ ”) , with its whimsical approach to decorating touches--from the sousaphone on the living-room wall to the fraudulent succulent in the bedroom. It was truly an all-around inviting Home! Yummy recipes, too. Thanks so much.
