Welcome to "The Last Leaf Gardener," a blog by Patricia Youngquist. I am a photo-artist, bird-lover and urban gardener living in NYC. My website includes my non-nature themed images (Black and White as well as Kaleidoscopic). Click on the second image in sidebar (Right)) to visit. I also have published a three volume book series, "Words In Our Beak," in which the stories are told by Cam, the bird pictured above. Click on the first image in the sidebar (also Right) for info.

THE COST OF HYPENS in 1928 + 2017
My appreciation for the writings of E.B. White is no secret to anyone who reads this blog. The essay posted atop this entry is one of my favorites. It was published eighty-nine years ago today; and times they sure are a changing, for today if "a writer at work" inserted "a little mark," it would not cost him half a dollar, but it might cost him his tweet if the hyphen made it too many characters.
