The Nature Connection is looking for volunteers, and the library is looking for teens to make ice cream.
Today I have some sad news to report: Frogman Jo, who was a guest in my home just a short time ago, has unexpectedly met his maker. Fortunately, this did not happen while he was in my care, and therefore cannot be attributed to any neglect on my part. According to the notice sent out by his family, “Jo was a happy and sometimes lively frog who brought happiness to all who knew him.” He was ceremoniously buried in the garden, where I have no doubt he will contribute to the flourishing of the plants there.

I am so lucky to still have her, and thought I knew everything about her, until I started this project. You really get a fuller picture of a person when you see what treasures they tuck into the corners of their bureau drawers and linen closets. As much as I hate the process — I really don’t like sorting, organizing and packing — I’m really grateful for the chance to get to know this fascinating woman even better.
