 The great thing about summer is those impromptu dinners with neighbors. Some sort of afternoon outdoor activity leads to the, “hey, come on over for dinner” invitation. The response of “great, what can I bring” guarantees a certain equity that promotes the breezy casualness of the occasion.

I’ve noticed that a lot of viewers seem to be interested in composting these days. I don’t have anything scientific to add to my last post, but I can tell you about some unusual outcomes since then.
Last summer, I had filled a flower bed with the black gold from the compost bin. As the summer days warmed the soil, and the rain provided some much needed moisture, I was pleased to see that the iris rhizomes I had transplanted to the new bed were thriving. They were putting out beautiful green leaves creating a bed of graceful “V’s” in the landscape. But there was more. Continue reading A Golden Treasure from the Compost Pile
Back in 1994 someone in Hampden looked back and around and came up with a surefire winner of an idea. Fifteen years later, Honfest up in Bawlmer is a weekend full of arts, crafts, entertainment, food, and, of course, the beehive hairdo of the 1960′s.

Normally, I’d stay home and launch into the usual weekend chores, but my son invited me to go for a cup of coffee in Annapolis. Our adventure quickly became the great cupcake quest and tour of Annapolis. Continue reading Take the Cupcake Tour of that Town Next to Crownsville
