She loves me more. I think. She's a -- woman of mature years.

Oh don't be like that. This country was founded on bad behavior. Burning the Gaspee, taking unsporting potshots at the Redcoats, throwing all that perfectly good tea into the harbor. Declaring our independence... http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/07/like-most-ameri.html http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/07/like-most-ameri.html Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:28:38 -0500 I’ve been walking to work recently, to save gas and stop contributing to air quality problems. And mostly because I just don’t live that far, and in nice weather it’s a pleasant walk.

It's almost my birthday and that means the strawberry fields await. My sister and I had planned to go out for dinner, but I cancelled at... http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/06/traditions-can.html http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/06/traditions-can.html Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:31:58 -0500 Saturday morning we plan to upgrade the active projo blogs to a new version of the Movable Type software.

I saw something so shocking, so foot-plantingly disturbing I was frozen. Once I’d seen it, it was clear I had to make a decision. But What. To. Do. What I did do... http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/06/the-great-scape.html http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/06/the-great-scape.html Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:56:15 -0500 My next door neighbor offered me all of her moribund pansies. They were once grown in small containers, placed on her front steps and front porch. I said, “ No, but thank you anyhow”.

You could go to the beach. Fight beach traffic, walk across a giant parking lot with 100 pounds of gear, scald your feet on hot sand, have some kid shake their towel out... http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/06/gardening-take.html http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/06/gardening-take.html Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:02:54 -0500 I could not help thinking about flowers for celebration again, as today happened to my No.2 son’s birthday. We celebrated his 13th birthday at the Biltmore Hotel in June 1982.

All winter, Hope High School is –– just a school. (I mean, not that that's not important and everything. But on the "all about me-ter" it doesn't exactly send the needle into the red zone.) But tomorrow,... http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/06/hope-high-farme.html http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/garden/2008/06/hope-high-farme.html Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:53:53 -0500 I ran across a friendly cashier one day at the grocery store and I happened to blurt to her in conversation that I was not in the mood to till my garden for spring planting.
