Happy Monday Morning When I walk with my dog in the mornings, I pass by several places where there are pretty flowers, some domestic and some wild. These wild irises are blooming just under some domestic ones. These are in a field where a house once stood, so somebody had planted the big irises. Both

Since we’re are all still dealing with lock-down, social distancing, health scares, and so much more because of the COVID 19 situation, I thought a little fun on the blog would lighten the load for all of us. A version of this post first appeared on the blog in 2006. Enjoy… My very first publishing
This pandemic is getting more and more scary by the day, especially here in the U.S as we now have three times the rate of infections as any other country. This is sad news considering that had there been better planning and a quicker response on the National level, we might be looking at much
