It's great weather for a bike ride just now! I like the apple swan. He's very creative.

I think all of us oldsters have those "I'm getting too old for (fill in the blank)" moments on a regular basis. Hang in there; things tend to sort themselves out eventually.

Oh my, yet another mess to clean up! I suppose it always goes with being a homeowner. Goodness knows we've had our share of incidents. Our son recently noticed a drip coming through the ceiling in the

People who carry on about the beauty of deer in the yard obviously haven't tried growing flowers, or vegetables for themselves to eat. I remember one non-gardening woman who said, "Oh, surely you

According to the official zoning maps, we are also in 6b. So is my sister, over in Montana. But we both plant as if we were in zone 4, because we both are located in odd micro-climates.
