Book Review: Code Girls
This is an amazing “behind the scenes” story, only recently declassified. The subject and situation are both very complex. I look forward to a film version (like the movies Hidden Figures and Green Book set in the 1960s). Personal Note: In 2008, I joined a reunion of Marines with my father-in-law who fought on IWO […]

When inspiration hits dirt
Back ground: Winter 2021. When will pandemic end? Seed catalogs: Shumway and Jung. Delightful dreams of spring planting. Adventure! For the first time I ordered strawberry, raspberry and asparagus roots. The good news (maybe) is that I reconsidered where to plant strawberries and asparagus to prevent them from becoming snacks for wildlife. These are my […]

Book Review: The Dressmaker’s Gift
Dressmaker is a term that is no longer in our contemporary vocabulary. A century ago, it was a profession with formal training. The American College of Dressmaking in Kansas City published The American Dressmaker textbook in 1906. I assume this instruction became part of Home Economics curriculum some decades later. I digress… the title The Dressmaker’s […]

The content is detailed with MANY footnotes. Excellent questions are posed. The content is absolutely relevant to matters that influence “these days and times” at home and abroad. […]

You sure have found something to do with your stay at home time looking hood. Pam and I are walking 4 miles each day but today we cut the grass and Pa. Weed eater. Sat we are taking the plastic off the screen in porch and cleaning it as the pollen is over. Keeping busy like you keep it up looking good
Lovely!
I like to take 4 mile walks through the neighborhood…when I’m not pushing the wheelbarrow with mulch! 🙂
If I get a load of mulch, will you come put it in the beds? I need about 25 bags for all my beds but don’t want to go to the store to get it. Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
27 cu ft/cu yd X 7 = 189. About 2 cu/ft per bag…94.5 bags! Driveway (drop off) 200 ft from SouthEast corner bed. Volume and distance! I’m DONE for the foreseeable future. (Neglected last year, needed to catch up) Good luck with your work! 😉
