Downright Squirrelly
WE ALL WANT our gardens to attract wildlife. In theory. But when it comes down to it we’re rather specific about which are welcome and how we expect them to behave (same as with family and friends). Meanwhile, wildlife has its own agenda and, apparently, little regard for ours. It’s perfectly natural that sometimes the peace unravels.

Green means Go!
IT WAS A SATURDAY MORNING about five years ago, and I was driving to Home Depot to buy a new toilet seat. I was feeling pretty blue. I was feeling tired, old and fat, but mostly fat, because I had just broken a toilet seat. And I was thinking how much harder things were getting-things like remembering, and picking stuff up.
