Thank you, Daughter, for writing my article last week. Rocking chair, indeed! Next time I’m incapacitated, I’ll ask my son to take my place. I didn’t break that many rules. New eyeballs! There is a huge, vibrant, crisp and clear world out here, just waiting for me to explore. But my most excellent doctor, with whom I nearly fell in love pre-surgery, turned into a growly ogre post-surgery. End of romance. “What do you mean, stay indoors? Don’t garden? Stay away from public pl...

DeVos has been on the front lines in the fight to make schools accountable. She helped to create the framework that...

Whether in the woods on the prairie or right smack downtown life is teeming even when we don’t see it. Let’s start where it’s obvious: the bird feeder in the yard. In town you...
