  • Who is St. Valentine, anyway?

    I suspect most of you have no idea about the person and the saintly episode that is commemorated each Feb. 14 by friends, family and most importantly, lovers. In fact, there are several versions of how the most romantic Saint became a commercial success.

    One story about St. Valentine has its origins in third century Rome where the Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young single men because he valued them more as young warriors. A priest by the name of Valentine defied the law and continued to secretly marry the young soldiers who were in love.

  • More bad weather, more trouble for...

    It seems we are in the middle of yet another “situation,” as my husband calls it, served up by Mother Nature.  At present, we are right in the middle of the mess out at the farm.  No electricity, no phone line, no heat and no water. 

    We can manage well enough inside with the fireplace, kerosene heater, camp stove, down comforter and strategic water rationing (with supplements brought in from town).  Outside is a different story. 

    The ice storm and snow have left a path of downed trees and limbs.
