Volume 17 Issue 3, March 2020 What's New in March? If the wild wind outside my window is any indication, March is shaping up to be a blustery one. We had steady winds (cold ones, at that) the other day that made me think I was back in Montana huddled in a little cabin with a mean Northeast wind blowing out of the mountains.

I stopped at places like Williamsburg, Jamestown and York Town, and I spent an afternoon on tour at Civil War sites. I have...

We just dropped in several black eyed susan plants to brighten up a newly cleared corner of the front yard. We get assaulted regularly by pepper trees that are noxious weeds the size of redwoods, and once that weed was chopped down, there was a sunny space for some more flowers.
