First I am no gardener and second if I touch it is dies. One would think if the first two statements are correct, why this would be an issue. Well I do not think there is anything that truly kills Raspberry Brushes in my state. They would take over...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MG1278/829559Working in the yard is always a chore for me. First I am no gardener and second if I touch it is dies.

This is a good week to remember what our countries came to symbolize, where you live in the US, Canada or elsewhere. Personally, I will be looking forward to the Kite Festival a little later...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MG1278/827502Usually it is during the cooler months that I am reading in a kind of marathon, however right now I find that I am also. Currently reading a book called ‘The Snow Child’ with a setting of 1920 in Alaska. The story surrounds a couple who move to Alaska following the death of an unborn child....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MG1278/827453We have one of those traveling carnivals up the road from us again this year. And that business certainly does bring in the people. However, this year, it has spurred some negative press as it is occupying the same space where the monthly car show is. And that has put the car show out of a place...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MG1278/827414Yesterday’s earthquake in Alaska reminded me that I need to check the emergency kit I keep for just such a time. Living in an area which is not prone to natural disasters, makes for complacence on my part. Does everyone else have those kits and in order? I understand the need and the reason for...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MG1278/827362OK so summer has arrived, and with it all the outdoor parties. At least that is the way it seems here. Anniversary Celebrations, picnics for different groups and so forth, all seem to be vying for time. I enjoy outside activities, however right now there seems to be a lot of bees and their...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MG1278/827254I am volunteering with the kids again today. They are little wonders. I am sure I did not have near the knowledge they have. At the same time, they seem not to have the wonder of things in our world which I had and I know my friends had, this is a shame. When we start to talk about the clouds and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MG1278/827202Yesterday in the afternoon, I was surprised to look out my living room window and see a deer looking back at me. She was about three foot from the window and looking in. My golden retriever was being very quiet and doing what we call our city bark, which is more of a clearing of the throat. What...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MG1278/826160One of the comments regarding having a whole summer off, I understand completely. Until right now, that is something which has defied my lifestyle. Right now I am recovering from some surgery and can spend three hours a day doing something which is active. I cannot go back into work at the...
