The great outdoors in the smallest state. A month of monarda. July 23, 2015. THIS is Jacob Cline. Much redder in person. Below is a wider view of it growing against the house. I bought a new cultivar last year, and it has turned out to be the earliest bloomer in my Monarda collection. It’s called “Purple Rooster” and it is rather short, so I have it at the front of the border. It’s slightly gone by, but the photo below will give you an idea of how purple it is.

Learning to be self-sufficient in rural Ireland. Thursday, 16 July 2015. For tonight’s lesson, I said to my ten-year-old, tell me how the first democracy was created. 8220;Sure,” she said, remembering our lessons past. “It was in Athens, about 2,500 years ago, and the poor people of Athens were unhappy and getting ready to revolt. So the leaders of the city put a philosopher named Solon in charge – he was the one person everyone trusted.". What did he do once he came to power? Excellent, I said. And ...

Restoring Mayberry: Hope Project
http://restoringmayberry.blogspot.com/2009/10/hope-project.html
Learning to be self-sufficient in rural Ireland. Tuesday, 13 October 2009. I was honoured and wrote something as best I could and sent it off to Jennifer, thinking it would just be my writing and maybe a few others. When the birthday came around and I checked the link I received. This is what I wrote:. Today we diagnose such compassion, and prescribe medicines to remove it. But we should feel troubled, to a point, because the troubles exist, no matter how many people ignore them. It is what the m...You s...

PEACE IS OUR PROFESSION. Laquo; YEARS OF MAGICAL THINKING. BEST SIXTEEN YEARS OF MY LIFE.

If, instead of something like $12,000 per year the school had asked me for $25-30,000 per year as they do today, what would have been my options? Be Sociable, Share!

Learning to be self-sufficient in rural Ireland. Sunday, 28 June 2015. Originally published in First Things, October 2014. Reprinted with permission. The water is wide, I cannot cross over . . . Neither have I the wings to fly . . . We would turn the heads of most humans, too, these days; most people never sing aloud anymore, except meekly in church, and snicker at those who do. According to Daniel J. Levitin’s book This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession,. They told children who th...

Restoring Mayberry: December 2014
http://restoringmayberry.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Learning to be self-sufficient in rural Ireland. Wednesday, 24 December 2014. Our internet has been flickering on and off, so we've had only occasional posting. Whatever your faith or traditions, enjoy your holiday, everyone. On Christmas Eve there was the lighting of the candle – a big red wax candle, put into a jam jar filled with sand, ringed with holly and lit by the youngest member of the household. Then the neighbours rambled in. The O'Sullivans were interviewed by RTE radio about the Christmases o...

Restoring Mayberry: Things I learned from my first week as a beekeeper
http://restoringmayberry.blogspot.com/2015/06/things-i-learned-on-my-first-week-as.html
Learning to be self-sufficient in rural Ireland. Saturday, 13 June 2015. Things I learned from my first week as a beekeeper. First of all, everything you do will be wrong, at least according to someone, and that’s okay. Thus, we make do - I chose a place in a corner of our woodland, facing the bog-land and its fields of wildflowers, but wove trimmed stalks of elder between tree stumps to form a wattle-fence around part of it, sheltering it from our fierce winds. You also need a bee suit, a one-piece outf...
