The young dogwood tree in the front yard is through blooming. The rosy azaleas by the front walk have been gorgeous for over a week, but I doubt if they last too much longer. The two bouquets that I picked from their branches have graced the living and dining rooms for...

It had been much too long since we visited Mary Ellen and Brian’s family in central Illinois. When I heard that Brianna had the lead in their school’s musical, I knew I had to be there. This news was extraordinary because Brianna had never sung in public before....

On Saturday, I saw the first blossoming tree. An ancient tree next to an old farm shed was abloom with pink blossoms that would have cheered the hearts of the long ago residents who lived in the house no longer there. There is still a side walk with a little gate out by the road...
