We The People
"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." ~ Edward Abbey
Normally, I avoid the subject of politics like the Black Death, however, these are dire times. The 'Change' Americans voted for with such high hopes is not the change we're experiencing under this administration, unless you're a fan of government bailouts, astronomical debt, a failed, grossly expensive stimulus package and the worst economy since the Great Depression…

The Amazing Health Benefits of Honey and Cinnamon
A good friend of mine sent me the following info and I was very impressed, so am sharing it here. After reading her email, I tore into our small, local grocery store and bought more of the honey produced by a neighboring man. His is non-pasteurized which is even better for you if you can find it.

Back in the 1990's, my sister Catherine (to whom I'm dedicating the book) cautioned...

November Musings
Misty autumn day, cold rain falling, leaves scattering from the trees in a red-gold swirl. The Alleghenies are veiled in the distance beyond the hazy hills above our meadow. On my dining room table sits a box of tiger lily and tulip bulbs that need planting, should already be in the sodden ground. I trust we'll have some fine sunny days yet that may entice me out into the garden before winter settles in.
Daughter Elise and I ordered the bulbs back in hot, muggy August when fall seemed but...
