American Experience
On My Nightstand: Books Books and More Books
Books have taken a large space in my life lately. Since determined we were going to sell our house this year, we had to downsize. Hundreds of books got given away. Some for little free libraries, but more to teachers I know, and the majority to the community center in the town we left. We’ve…
The News Should Report on More Positive Stories
I wrote last night about how our news focuses on the negative. Although these stories must be reported to keep us informed, the way they are reported sometimes (a lot of the time, in my opinion) serves to divide an already divided country. I wish it would stop. There are other stories that can reflect…

Fungi Seen on Wisconsin Hikes: The Common and the Weird
We hiked a segment of the Timm’s Hill Trail yesterday. It was mid-day, and still very comfortable out. Donning jeans and t-shirts with an adequate dose of bug spray, on our hats and clothes, we set off just after 2 pm. Our yellow lab, Molly, was with us too. She loves the trail for her…
Hobbies? I Have Too Many Interests and Not Enough Time!
I am a Jill of all trades some might say. My hobbies are many and have been for a long time. Ever since I decided to be a stay-at-home mom when we moved to the midwest in 1999, leaving my advanced practice nursing career behind, I filled my spare time with hobbies. My small handmade…

A Post on Hummingbirds and My Love Affair with Them
My post can be found on Medium.com (click the website link) today. As I previously informed my regular readers, I am taking a break from Poetry Friday for the month of August. Thanks! However, I am participating in the Sealey Challenge, so I am getting loads of inspiration and enjoying the poetry I’m reading (from…
A New Milestone: 1800 Posts
Earlier this week, I promised I’d write about some recent milestones. Today, I am writing my 1800th post on my WordPress blog, The Apples in My Orchard! Eighteen hundred posts! Wow! Since I’ve been writing daily since the end of February 2017, it’s been almost five and a half years of posting. It’s not quite…
