Babs sends an elegant daffodil for Mother’s Day
Babs Young sent you one Mother’s Day present last Sunday (remember the lambs? Go look at the lambs again, and the llama, too. You can’t look at that llama too many times. Here’s the link: Awwww!) That’s why she sent this message today: I guess I did Mother’s Day a week too soon. So now […]

Moms and the inexplicable choices we make
May 10, 2009
A pair of robins have built a messy nest on top of the garage floodlights at the Writing Studio and Bait Shop. The floodlights do not work, as ice dams wrecked the fixture and replacing it has turned out to be more of a project than I thought. I noticed the mess hanging there and […]

May 9, 2009
Ramps, wild leeks – call ’em what you like, they’re good for what ails you. I’m not usually good at finding them, but this year I’ve been lucky. As a bonus, I found wintergreen nearby. (If you’re going to eat wild leeks, it’s good to have wintergreen to chew . . . ) Digging […]

Plus we had an invitation. This is Maude Harris’s log […]

Daytrips: Jordan River Arts Council, East Jordan
May 4, 2009
When I went over to JRAC for the opening of its current show, I admired a quill box. Upon close inspection, I discovered that it was made by Babs Young. Is there no end to the woman’s creative capabilities? There was a lot to admire, and I’m sorry I didn’t get around to telling you […]
