Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

I love that there is always something new to learn. In today’s read, I learned about a unique Midwestern region called “the Driftless” that I was unaware of. And how about this rather profound quotation from a local resident.

I ask him if, after forty years in the same place, anything still surprises him.

“Constantly. For one thing, you’re kind of surprised when trees you planted die of old age.”

Stay tuned.

This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.
