I am moving. I sold my beautiful property with the maple syrup trees and the Ginkgo tree and its history of 270 million years and the Butternut rescued from my friend’s back yard. I leave the blueberries and the blackberries that grow in abundance. I leave my pony buried beneath […]
As I travelled the highway to Rainy River delivering papers last Wednesday, I could not help but notice the flocks of sea gulls in the field feasting on what I suppose are earthworms. Gardeners love those earth animals as they break up leaves and other vegetation and leave behind rich […]

“Marzie Days” was on Saturday at Alf and Barb Redford’s–grandpa and grandma to Marzie. The day was fun with the abundance of hearty plants ( of all kinds) delicious burgers, homemade baking, and of course a lot of visiting and reconnecting. Approximately $7,550.00 has been mad thus far for this […]

I am having a mixed green salad for supper tonight. I’m not expecting your applause for my healthy meal choice nor do I think you should care about what I am eating, but I do hope you care about what I am going to tell you about the dressing I […]

At our home, the blue boxes contain a mixture of empty cereal boxes, clear plastic containers that once held strawberries or some other fruit, salad dressing bottles and empty gallon jugs that once held milk.

I bet you thought I was going to write about dandelions, those yellow works of art that began popping out on my lawn yesterday (May 11) as I write this, like sunshine in the grass. But I’m not going to. I wrote about dandelions in my very first column back […]
