Others of us need a little hand-holding, a kindly pep talk and a wee bit of a [...]]]></description>

Not only is this the time of year when most of the vegetable seeds and seedlings go into the potager, we have also embarked on a major campaign to add more shrubs&#8212;particularly flowering shrubs&#8212;to the property. Thank goodness Harry is a good sport and has a [...]]]></description>

They complained loudly when I went out to the coop to explain to them that I did not feel like walking around behind seven naughty chickens dislodging newly planted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago my then-teenage son convinced me to watch the movie Snakes on a Plane. It&#8217;s a movie about&#8212;you guessed it&#8212;snakes on a plane. Despite the fact that it was an incredibly stupid film, it gave me nightmares. But movie snakes don&#8217;t hold a candle to real, live snakes right at home. This [...]]]></description>

Winter is shades of brown and grey, occasionally punctuated by the white of snow. Once spring starts to emerge, yellow predominates, with daffodils spotting the lawn and the edges of the driveway.
