Cats …

Posted on October 27, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

Every morning, I greet the feline contingent of the Pet Hostel. For our own reasons, we do not have cats in the house, but in a sense, they have their own house.

and a town in mourning again. Last week, one of McBride’s fine young men was killed at his place of work. I’m done being apologetic for the grief and empathy I feel, even when I “didn’t know them well”. Nobody has criticized me, but my inner self keeps acting bashful about all this emotion.

Garlic plenty…

Posted on October 3, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

This afternoon, I finished breaking up and separating (“cleaning”) sixty pounds of garlic. This is so that the garlic king can plant the cloves this fall. This weekend, actually. I have often busied myself with other things, or provided just a token amount of aid when it comes time to do this job; there are … Continue reading →
