Summer is in sight
Green has exploded across the horizon. Finally the tulips, dandelions and rhubarb have come out of the ground. The temperature has warmed and the fish are biting.

Spring passages
Finally, the crocuses are up. Together with paperwhites, narcissus, tulips and daffodils, they are the loud heralds of spring. When they appear it is clear that winter has gone and spring has come. In fields of brown and before the trees leaf out, these brilliant blooms scream SPRING!
Mud, mayhem and memories
Harvest time has changed. Looking through the old pictures of times past, gone are the barrels, barrel trucks, baskets and pickers.
Praises for a water expert
The art and science of water technology brings fortune. With water the crops grow and without water those crops can die. America is lucky today in having in most places a decent supply of safe water. Quality water underlines development.
Rhubarb ruse rattles wranglers
Spring is finally here. This from the number of signs on the side of the road hawking clean fiddleheads.
Creeping out of winter’s grasp
With luck the last of the white stuff is gone. Mother Nature, in a never-ending quest to be the scourge of forecasters, is now on a fast track to green up.
Scary coffee and convenient cake
Travel has a way of opening doors not known before. had a person visited China a dozen years ago the most common form of coffee that was available raised eyebrows.
A spud by any other name
An interesting product advertisement came across the desk. A friend sent a note wanting to know if I was familiar with the item and had any advice.
Kudos to Mr. Sports
One more snowstorm comes to The County. As such events go, it was interesting for a moment and a pain in the tuckus for the rest of the event.
Spring, we know you’re there…
Spring is a long time coming.
