The Silver Tones brought their “itty bitty” big band sound to Old Town Warrenton on a hot Saturday night. Affectionally called The Silver Tens, the 17-member band has scaled back a bit to adapt to this time of COVID19. Their sound is still BIG, though, as…

I am stepping out of my comfort zone a bit with these words. You see, an influential person in my life passed away during this Spring of the Coronavirus. It was not from COVID19. It was simply her time after bringing forth her unique style…

Another month has come to a close. As I type, I’m listening to the rain and watching the colors of our woods deepen as they soak up the moisture. The birds continue to dart back and forth between our feeders, trying to dodge the large…

As I write this, it’s been less than a week of the official quarantine guidance going coast to coast. We are out of our routines. For many, our jobs and volunteer responsibilities are on hiatus. We can’t visit our loved ones out of concern for…

Unique storytelling always piques my interest, so when I heard a fiddle playing poet was coming to Gloria’s I had to see how this story would be told. Ken Waldman found his path in the world when he ditched the traditional start he got at Duke,…

A few years ago, I learned about the best place to view eagles on the East Coast. It’s where the Conowingo Dam sits at the southern base of the Susquehanna River in the northeastern corner of Maryland near the towns of Conowingo and Darlington.

I had the pleasure of volunteering with the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) earlier this year. My assignment was to visit two farms and write about them for their annual publication, Buy Fresh Buy Local. After three decades of wearing the corporate attire, I admit that…

A Visit at the Happy Family Ranch

I prefer to walk in the evening, to catch our neighborhood preparing for the day’s end. I can hear the four-legged creatures scurrying among the leaves, searching for nuts and seeds. The deer have a different rhythm, deliberate and cautious unless they are startled and…
