It seems every year when daylight savings time arrives I have a hard time adjusting. I'm behind all morning and the afternoon is fairly normal, but at night I'm waiting forever for the 10 o'clock news and bedtime, but actually it's earlier. As I grow older I wonder why things have changed so ...
National Agriculture Day is March 19 this year. The senate and the house approved a joint resolution proclaiming the day as an official national observance for agriculture. This day was initiated in 1973 by several agriculture publications, organizations and companies and was made a official ...
Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, which to the Irish is a religious holiday and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. It was celebrated as that for hundreds and hundreds of years. Many years later, the Irish still celebrated as a ...
There's nothing timid about this winter. It seems it is like a winter we used to talk about, but hadn't had for awhile. I've heard many bemoan this winter and what could be ahead for the rest of March. The weather can be severe with the mercury really dipping and the wind really blowing the ...

HEY! HEY! Did you celebrate Valentine Day? I always celebrate in the same way year after year with a red jello heart with mixed fruit in it. We have been married 61 years and there have been very few valentine days when we didn't have a red jello heart. I can truthfully say we are still ...
I have taken a vacation for the last few months. No I wasn't on some warm beach, but recuperating from a broken hip. Something I wasn't planning on but accidents have a way of happening and though I'm still recovering I feel on the right track. The weather has been so bad that now is a good ...
Now that we are back to what I call "God's Time" it does take time getting used to the early nightfall. The whole landscape is changing markedly as the days continue to grow shorter and shorter. Summer is gone and my thoughts turn toward autumn and the coming of winter.We have had the furnace ...
