Library makes it easy to binge-watch

0

When it comes to the holidays, I find that the easiest way for me to accomplish my tasks, whether it’s decorating, cooking, cleaning, online shopping, or wrapping, is to hunker down in one location with everything I’ll need to be successful and turn on some binge-worthy TV shows or movies as background noise. Thankfully, the Delaware County District Library makes binging incredibly easy.

Memories from trip will last forever

This year, Thanksgiving was very different for my family. My memories of Thanksgiving Day include a house full of family and friends and plenty of delicious food. I would wake up on Thanksgiving Day with our home filled with the aroma of the turkey mom roasted overnight.

If you were holding back from decorating until after Thanksgiving, your time is coming! Go ahead and unpack the boxes of Santas, snowmen and string lights. While you’re testing your lights, you will inevitably discover that a strand or two have burned out and are otherwise useless.

The dry weather at Stratford Ecological Center on Liberty Road during the past month has helped as the fall jobs and preparations for winter take place on the farm. The spelt seed has germinated well. It came up quickly in the loose soil surrounding the foxtail grass in field 3. We purchased garlic bulbs this year, and many hands broke the cloves free to individually plant in a single row in field 3, close to the lane. We opted not to use our own to ensure we meet the demand for locally grown bulbs, until we harvest next summer.

Recalling memories from a day seven decades ago

At about 5 a.m. Friday, when I couldn’t get back to sleep, I realized that I remember a whole day from 70 years ago! I remember where I lived, what I wore to school that day, where I had lunch, and so forth for the entire day. Wow, it’s shocking to me that I can remember that far back!
