That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But would it really? I understand what Shakespeare meant; Romeo would be into Juliet whether she was a Montague. In real world situations, I wholeheartedly agree that a person shouldn’t be judged by their name, but for who they are. In […]

Whether or not you garden, it’s a great time to start thinking about growing trees and shrubs. Many counties in the area have tree and shrub sales at the year’s start. These are opportunities to acquire low-cost, native trees and shrubs for shade, wood, fruit, or nuts. You’ll generally need to commit to a bundle […]

As 2018 comes to close, I decided to unoriginally review the year to make sure you don’t miss out on something exciting. I’ll spare you the talks of politics and world news, as I’m sure you’ve seen enough of that on Facebook already (and let’s not get started on Facebook itself…). Despite what happens around […]

Seriously, you can stay at our house, John Wick. And that has nothing to do with you being portrayed by Keanu Reeves. Well, it doesn’t hurt that you’re played by Keanu, but that isn’t why you can stay at our house. It is because I’m worried about you. From the moment you lost your beagle, […]

During this time of the year I enjoy watching Christmas movies. My absolute favorites are Holiday Inn and White Christmas. I used to love It’s a Wonderful Life, but then it played 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a certain channel – way too much for me! Miracle on 34th Street with […]

I admit that I am dating myself, because when I was in school, and you went to the library for research, you stepped up to a large cabinet full of index cards. For example, if you wanted information about Abraham Lincoln, you searched his last name in the card catalog, alphabetical order in the ‘Ls’, […]

It’s late November. Winter is settling in for the long haul, and so am I. I’m always a bit of a homebody, but when the weather adopts an attitude of bitter cold and relentless snow, I get downright hermit-like. Mother Nature’s encouraging autumn whisper, gentling murmuring stay inside, where it’s cozy and warm has become […]
