Babs to the rescue
March 19, 2009
I am a bit under the weather, and the weather is pretty low. Babs, however, is her usual self and sent us just what the doctor ordered. Ladies and gentlemen, the first crocus of spring: Ah, you say . . . but you have crocuses, too? Good! Send pictures.

Moonwalking
March 14, 2009
Thanks to the early shift to so-calle Daylight Savings Time the dogs have been getting their morning walk as it’s barely getting light. So this morning we’re meandering along the lane through the woods and there is a big bright moon—past full but still pretty impressive—glinting through the trees. Oh, look! I say to the […]
