For the last three days, temperatures have climbed to the high 70's in Emmitsburg. The pink trees are blooming. Daffodils that usually bloom at least two weeks later than this are in full tilt. You can't tell me that global warming doesn't exist, and isn't happening. I love Spring and welcome its return, but I'm worried. to...
Here is the Duncraft Company's one-way mirrored bird feeder. I have a similar one, though it's not a one-way mirror. Nevertheless, Chickdees and Cardinals like these come to my window, to my great delight. In the US, many people follow NCAA Basketball. This is theseason known as âMarch Madness,â when the 64 top teams play each other in whatto ...
Crocuses are blooming in the garden in the woods. My garden by the house gets southern exposure and the warmth of the brick walls; daffodils and hyacinths are blooming there. Last night I heard the Spring Peepers - their thousand voices to the full moon.
( Sister Bertha in 1948 at DePaul Hospital in Norfolk VA) Sister Bertha Robertson died last week in Emmitsburg,about six months short of her hundredth birthday. She had been in our community for 80 years. I knew her first through her niece, Susan, my collegeclassmate and good friend. I met Sister Bertha when I joined the community in1978. S...
He's been a favorite of mine since I first heard Judy Collins sing his "Suzanne" back in 1968. Two years ago I discovered him again, still writing songs, and giving some wonderful performances. This song of his seems appropriate for the beginning of Lent: Anthem by Leonard Cohen Thebirds they sang atthe break of day Startagain, Iheard them s...

Ladiesâwith parasolsâ Sauntering Gentlemenâwith Canesâ And little Girlsâwith Dollsâ Will tint the pallid landscapeâ As 'twere a bright Bouquetâ T...
Two films I saw recently reminded me ofmy love for the city of Paris. I sawâHugoâ on the big screen, with those 3-D glasses. The film itself overwhelmed with its beauty;the parts where Hugo looks out on the night city from the clock tower ofMontparnasse Station really took my breath away. I remembered that I could see the ...
Mornings on the Ground by Rosa Alice Branco To accept the day. What will come. To pass through more streets than houses, more people than streets. To pass through skin to the other side. While I make and unmake the day. Your heart sleeps with me. It wraps me up at night and the mornings are cold when I get up. And I'm...
I greatly admire Kay Ryan's poetry - the compression, the word choice, the zap at the end of many of her poems. On this very dreary rainy January afternoon ( have I said this before?) the Mockingbirds are still feisty and active. Mockingbird by Kay Ryan Nothing whole Is so bold, we sense. Nothing not cracked is so exact and of a ...
A Belgian company called Parabolic biologicals has commercialised a product called Pau aspido whose active ingredient is uleine, a stimulator of nitric oxid synthesis. This combats various cancers and infectious diseases as HIV. It must be good because the regulatory agencies of both France and Belgium went out of their way to forbid its use! But it is now authorized in Belgium and can be had in the US.
