Wonderful Weeds and Various Varmints

The Natural World in Our Backyards and Beyond

Bob Collier,

About this book

Immersed in a world of sprawling concrete and hyper-advancing technology, we can begin to see the natural landscape as a thing of the past. All the more reason, suggests Bob Collier, a self-professed nature lover, to set out on the often-unrecognized bridge that still connects human beings with their natural surroundings. In Wonderful Weeds and Various Varmints, readers encounter a myriad of stories as if on a leisurely stroll through the seasons. Each chapter in this collection revives articles from Collier’s beloved, syndicated “Nature Notes” column written for East Tennessee’s Shopper News. From birding with his spouse to sharing family lore from childhood, Collier by turns informs and enchants as we learn his way of looking at the world.
In the section on spring, he reflects on days gardening with his grandmother, birding in the mountains, and what it means to meet and appreciate the gifts the season brings. Summer launches a warmer section of stories as Collier discusses the sounds of summer, firefly watching, and the fascinating insects all around. The colors of autumn are described with admiration and wonder as Collier relates stories about a sneaky groundhog, creatures of the night, and the marvels of pumpkin season. The book concludes with the winter season, Collier's chilly outdoor adventures, and a rejuvenating crystalline view of the world.
