Posted on September 4, 2013 by Julie-Ann Baumer

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Julie-Ann Baumer

I haven’t been paying attention to the activities at Jet Blue Park in Fort Myers, Florida.  That’s “Fenway South” for the uninitiated.  True, WEEI is piped into my right ear at least four hours per day and I hear the … Continue reading →

The New England Snow Coma

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Julie-Ann Baumer

I woke up this morning to a bit of the white stuff on The Jeep.  It’s on the roads, too.  A late winter storm it is and I’m not going to make too much out of it.  I’m going to … Continue reading →

Tuesday evening, I spent some time sorting saved marigold seeds.  I had a jar full of dried “dead heads” and it was time to pull out the seeds.  A few New England garden writers have suggested “it’s seed starting time” … Continue reading →
