Imagine the look of wonder and surprise on the faces of the neighborhood kids when they saw a big red fire truck roll up the street on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Travelonz: Block Party
http://travelonz.blogspot.com/2013/05/block-party.html
Thursday, May 16, 2013. A cool, rainy spring blew eastward out of town, taking with it most of the mosquitoes and gnats, and leaving in its wake clear skies and a warming sun - finally! It was time to invite the neighbors, a few extra friends along with an assortment of local children, and throw a block party. Out came the giant-sized BBQ filled with smokin' charcoal - big enough to grill dozens of hot dogs and burgers at once. Coolers filled with ice popped up here and there. Mary Anne Lonze Kennedy.

Travelonz: Ode to Aphids
http://travelonz.blogspot.com/2015/07/ode-to-aphids.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2015. You've come here to do battle. But in the end I'll getcha. By any mortal means. In pow'dry fine white armies. You chew my plants to shreds. Where are the winged predators. You nasty critters dread? Their plant-lice meal untouched. I'm forced to fight with chemicals. And other toxic stuff. I march out to my garden. With several cans of DEET. But then I stop. Consid'ring,. That all bugs gotta eat. Mary Anne Lonze Kennedy. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.
