- Spring is coming on all around us
- March 16, 2010
- OK, they are only weeds, but I love dandelions. A week or so ago, before our latest snow storm, my day was brightened by the sight of patches of dandelions blooming on the embankment along 260 just east of the 87 intersection. You just have to admire their tenacity to pop out of the cold ground and thrust up their golden heads. Our spring bloom seems later than usual this year, but will probably make its appearance this week with warmer weather forecast. Rim Country is beautiful year-round and especially so in the spring. Aren’t we blessed to live here?

- Do away with automated phone systems and put people back to work as operators
- March 2, 2010
- I have the perfect solution to the unemployment problem! Let’s scrap every automated telephone system in the country and hire real humans to conduct business as was done back in the good old days. After spending hours on the phone recently, handling everything from ordering medications to credit card companies to yes, even a church schedule, I am thoroughly sick and tired of trying to communicate with a disembodied voice. Imagine how many people we could put back to work, and how many callers would be less stressed.

- Pine seniors plan benefit for man hurt in fall
- February 16, 2010
- I recently heard someone offering pussy willows for sale. I was immediately transported back in time to my childhood. One of my favorite memories is of walking with my mother and sister on an early spring day to Grandma’s house. The road was muddy and rutted and passed by a small stream rushing with melted snow-water. Along its bank was a pussy willow bush (or is it a tree?) with its boughs popping with soft, silvery buds. “Oh, spring is really here,” my mother would exclaim as we carefully broke off a few branches.
