Sweet Rocket: November 2014
http://sweetrocket.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
I planted Sweet Rocket (hesperis) 25 years ago, and it has planted itself every year since. It is classified as an invasive plant, and thus shunned by responsible gardeners. I love it. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Occasionally I post on Facebook about interactions with my 3-year-old grandson, Joey. It's usually easy to make them concise (because they usually are. But here's a longer one from today. He explained that Jack was on the ice and fell. I asked if Jack fell through the ice, and he said yes.

The Free Market of Melbourne and Palm Bay Florida.: April 2009
http://rrfm.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
The Free Market of Melbourne and Palm Bay Florida. Sunday, April 26, 2009. The First Really Really Free Market in Melbourne and Palm Bay, Florida. Actually, the first in Melbourne and Palm Bay but, at this time, the only RRFM in Florida. And it was rousing success beyond any concept I think any of us had. People started arriving just before one pm. Parking was a little difficult due to the Art Fest being at the same time a block over. But the new Cuban restaurant, El Ambia Cubano. Framed art, kitchenware...

http://rrfm.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The Free Market of Melbourne and Palm Bay Florida. Saturday, July 31, 2010. Time for someone or someones to take over. As I have not been in town many weekends, would anyone like to take over sending out invitations, posting a monthly event, and posting from time to time? I am happy, delighted to have gotten this started but it is time to hand it off and get myself back to creating some more things. So, who wants to jump in? Write a line or three? Perhaps assist with the Facebook Group? Links to this post.

The Free Market of Melbourne and Palm Bay Florida.: August 2009
http://rrfm.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
The Free Market of Melbourne and Palm Bay Florida. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Adam was out of town this month - his mother just died - and he's such a leader that we were afraid it was all going to fall apart without him. Surprise! Jazmin arrives at 12, I arrive at 12:20, Shelley and Matt arrive at 1, and everyone else just comes in, sets out their stuff, greets one another and catches up, browses the new stuff, and generally acts (a) welcoming and (b) like they knew what they were doing. SO WONDERFUL!

Saturday, August 09, 2014. I'm an enthusiastic grower of green beans. My three bush varieties are just about finished, and my pole beans are too small to pick yet, so when I saw a sale on magnificent green beans at the supermarket today (labeled "Locally Grown") I snatched them up. So I'm glad I didn't pay much for them...

Sunday, June 07, 2015. Advice to the Grieving. Sheryl Sandberg's beautiful post about mourning her husband, posted on Facebook last week, reminded me of something I've been meaning to write. This won't be beautiful, but it might be useful. Accept the fact that you're a little crazy right now. I'm talking about physical dis...

Saturday, January 17, 2015. I’ve been working for over a week on cleaning out my pantry. It’s a small room off the kitchen that I managed to stuff with stuff. Sits on my sofa. Some of what I pulled out of the pantry will go back in, but much has already gone to the trash or to Salvation Army. And literary magazines with my...

Sweet Rocket: September 2014

I planted Sweet Rocket (hesperis) 25 years ago, and it has planted itself every year since. It is classified as an invasive plant, and thus shunned by responsible gardeners. I love it. Monday, September 22, 2014. Money, Money . . . Based on the numbers I heard on the news the other night, credit-card debt is pretty astronomical, and in many cases it's coupled with a complete lack of retirement savings. Scary. TVs and VCRs. And of course everyone was renting movies, and some were buying them too.
