Superman!
It was early in the season, only April 25th, and the weather in Los Angeles that Sunday afternoon was a cool 56 degrees. The Cubs had scored a run in the 3rd inning, but the Dodgers were threatening in the fourth. Suddenly, there was a commotion in left-center field. Two people had jumped over the…

Of Groundhogs and Gardens
I like to grow things. Things to eat, especially, but I also like to smell some moonflowers in the evening, and the scent of roses riding on the spring breeze. I’ve got a good start on the garden for this year, too. The corn is up about 3 inches, and peas, onions, and kohlrabi are…

It’s springtime in Alabama! It’s a very exciting time for people like us who spend most of our time in the backyard. We have a Boston fern that we’ve named Big Bertha. She’s lived here for several years, and she’s big. Really big. We keep her in the basement under grow lights during the winter,…

The Jerk

Feewin’ Fuddie
I like autumn. The smell of dried leaves, the cool weather, fewer snakes, and NO BUGS! And I don’t mean that silly rabbit, I mean things like mosquitoes, flies, and things that bite. Why do I care? Because with autumn comes hunting season! No, this isn’t one of those blood thirsty columns that will upset…

Invasion of The Littles
As the title suggests, we were invaded by some munchkins over the weekend. My son and daughter-in-law came for a visit with their two kids, Trouble and More Trouble. In fact, neither of the Littles were any trouble at all, and it was a fantastic visit! We smoked some ribs, broke in a new baseball…
