While working in the garden this weekend, I noticed at least four of my older shrubs are in dire need of pruning. They’re large and overgrown, and only seem to leaf out on the outside of the bush.


Last year was my first trip to our local Peach Festival. I had no idea what I had been missing. It was hot summer day, but well worth the trip. I made the trip with two dear friends and the three of us split a large crate of the best peaches I have ever eaten.
Among the booths filled with jewelry, art and food were booths filled with peach pies, peach smoothies, and peach cobblers. We tried the peach smoothie—best I have ever had! So we went back to find out how they made theirs. They added peaches, peach yogurt, peach juice and ice. No measurements were given, so you can make it as thick or thin as you like.


One of the most controversial subjects of our time is hazardous waste. Where it goes has been central to many long legal battles. Often, people forget that every household contributes to hazardous waste.


Do you have a collection of teapots? Maybe you love to collect teacup and saucers. Many of us have inherited such collections, but don’t know where or how to display them in our homes. Get them out and fill them with spring this year.


Any man can become a Father; it takes someone special to be a Dad. Biologically, I didn’t have a choice in who my Father would be, however, at age 26 I chose the man who I will call Dad for the rest of my life.
