Left Coast / Right Coast: We’re bombarded with content

One of the things the explosion of the Internet has brought to us is a bombardment 24/7 of content. What do I mean?

Content is all that “stuff” we see not only on our TV, desktop computers and smart phones, but unfortunately everywhere we look.

"Mill Creek Garden Club’s Jolly Time on the 'Nice List,'" by Lila Johnson

Left Coast / Right Coast: Everything eventually comes to an end

As a New Englander, I have been rooting for the New England Patriots ever since Tom Brady and Bill Belichick assumed control of the team. I had a very slight acquaintance with owner Robert Kraft through some family friends but that didn’t cause my following of the team.

"Hellebores are Back," by the Whistling Gardener

Hellebores are a classic example of a seasonal perennial that is readily available throughout the winter and then missing during the summer months.

I am excited to tell you that they are once again arriving on our benches and ready for planting.

Forever Home Dog of the Week - Bobbi

There are some dogs that just tug at your heart strings the moment you meet them, and our dog of the week Bobbi is one of those pups.

Forever Home Cat of the Week - Junebug

If you’re more into those cats that act a bit like dogs, then our cat of the week Junebug may be your match! This two-year-old gal is extremely personable and loves interacting with people.

Whether it’s playing with toys, getting cheek rubs or working on her tricks, she’s happy to be doing it all!

The word spectacle is derived from the word spectacular.

How do you know you are witnessing a spectacle? Easy, first and foremost you should feel a chill or goosebumps. That is your body telling you that you are seeing something special. Something you don’t normally see.

Forever Home Dog of the Week - Fee Bee

No, you’re not looking at a holiday elf – you’re looking at FeeBee!

Our dog of the week FeeBee is dressed in her bright red and green holiday sweater, and she’s ready to bring cheer into your home! She is cute as can be.

Forever Home Cat of the Week - Chase

If you’re looking for a super special guy to add to your heart and home, our cat of the week Chase is exactly who you’re looking for. Chase is, without a doubt, the most loving and gentle cat you’ll ever meet. Chase’s three favorite things are snoozing, snuggling and being brushed.

"A Time to Reflect and be Thankful," by the Whistling Gardener

As the season winds down and the garden is put to bed, I can’t help but pause and reflect on the past several months. It was a roller coaster year for me with lots of promise, a major setback, and then a fantastic recovery.

Fasten your seatbelts and hang on…
