Once again, we've had a busy week with yet one more quick trip to Atlanta among appointments and planning a big event that was held yesterday. I'll have more on that for you in a day or so. In the heat this week, my daylilies decided it was time to start their show. I got …

Long time readers know that we have a lot of fun with our car clubs and going to shows.

Today is Earth Day and it is the perfect time to make a pledge to help our planet by recycling, and reusing. Simple things like refusing a straw, or using paper plates instead of plastic ones can help. Buy and use things made from recycled materials when you can, especially for things like trash bags …

This past weekend, we led a drive for our MINI club. Several last minute cancellations meant we had fewer cars than usual for the drive, but we still had a nice time. We met at a local brewery for lunch, lining up together as we like to do. I don't care for beer but that …
It has been a full week of wildlife visitors, with lots of animals and birds stopping by. I give treats to some, and some I have to hold my breath not to scare away. There is a small herd of five female deer that live in the forest on our property and the adjoining properties. …
