Poor Air Quality Still, but We Have Gone from A Code Red to Code Orange

The haze hovering over the city of Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas in western Pennsylvania is leaving allergy sufferers and those with other ailments with no choice but to stay indoors with closed windows. With a mild temperature today of 68, it would otherwise be the perfect day to open up all... Sign in to see full entry.

It Is An Oddly Quiet Day But I Will Take It

No stress on today's forefront makes me happy. It is a comfortable 75 degrees, making it the perfect day to enjoy another dinner at our usual spring, summer, and fall spot. That being our picnic table. A light meal with buttered sweet corn on the cob from our local farm will be a part of the deal,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have Always Loved Sunflowers, and Now I Know Why

I am so thankful that I live near a sunflower field that not only grows acres of sunny yellow and brown sunflowers, they have an annual sunflower festival where seeds, oils, and other products can be purchased. Not only are they pretty to look at, but sunflowers are also used to clean up radioactive... Sign in to see full entry.

A Simple Day With An Easy Dinner Plan

Even though our today's temperature is in the upper 70s, it is oddly comfortable outdoors with no signs of humidity. John and I love eating our meals out at the picnic table when the weather permits, so today I am making chicken salad sandwiches on pumpernickel-rye bread with a side of potato salad...

I Love Old Train Stations, Including the One That We Live In

The house that John and I currently own was originally a busy train station that is located at the end of town in our small community. It was built in 1910, and while it no longer has the outward appearance of a train station, over the past nine years of living in our home, we have dug up many... Sign in to see full entry.

We Are Starting A New Saturday Morning Ritual

It's that time of year once again to add fresh produce to your daily meal plans, and in and around the area where I live there are several farmer's markets that offer every fruit and vegetable known to man. My small boro holds their farmer's market on Saturday mornings until noon. I enjoy looking at... Sign in to see full entry.

This Sweet Smelling Guy Has Wasted No Time With Getting Big

I have been hit with the intoxicating sweet scent of honeysuckle every morning this past week. What's hard to believe is that the tiny Graham Thomas honeysuckle tree that John planted five years ago has now reached a height of roughly twenty feet. From mid-summer to early fall, the birds, bees, and... Sign in to see full entry.

It Will Be A Hot Day Here in Pittsburgh, But Not A Very Humid One

I am planning to take advantage of the nice weather today by lying outside on my lounge chair while reading for an hour. It will be 89 degrees here in Pittsburgh, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. Later, I will be making spicy crispy chicken sandwiches on toasted pretzel buns with a side of chili... Sign in to see full entry.

With Spring Comes This Beautiful Sight

Our wooded area here in my community is flooded by the sight of these small families. They often visit our yard to dine on the apple-scented corn that I leave out for them. Sign in to see full entry.
