No matter what you think about bears, when someone says, “I saw a bear,” you listen. If you want to see a bear, then you must attend the Black Bear Festival in Plymouth, NC, June 5 & 6, 2026. https://t.co/ylRUF6U4XN

My dad "Ops" would have been 124 today. David took this pic.. I didn't know until I developed the film in my camera. It was the last photo taken of my dad, the Gentleman Farmer. And the farmer's daughter Chloe Ann was with him. We were watching the purple martins.

Today is my Sister Sallie's birthday. She would have been 100 years old - she almost made it. I wish for one of those many ordinary days when I would stop by and we would talk about plants.

Have you ever tried washing strawberries in a mild vinegar wash? They really do keep fresh longer.

Potatoes and beets in my compost! Since I have planted nothing, maybe they will produce; otherwise, I will have no fresh veggies. I AM going to plant, just always tomorrow.

Barney and I had some great Easter outfits. Of course, I had gloves and socks with lace and ruffles. I also had a cape. We both had berets and hats that were specially made just for us. We went to Portsmouth to have the outfits made.

Did you all have those ruffled white so…
