Let's Get Dirty

A surprise in every seed

I've planted hundreds of seeds. Actually, in the last decade, I've probably planted thousands of seeds, from flowers to veggies, fruits and herbs. I should not be so surprised and pleased every time a seed sprouts and those little green leaves (or maroon, if you're planting … more

What's in a Word

Gods of sleep

  The headline of an ad today on page 5A made me resolve to hit the gym tonight but also reminded me of the god behind the word “hypnosis.” In Greek mythology Hypnos was the god of sleep. His Roman counterpart was Somnus, and from his name comes the adjective … more

Breakfast for Dinner

We HEART chick flicks, particularly ones with Tom Hanks and Colin Firth

The Outdoor Junkie
