Cave Tours Last year at this time I was starting to organize two days of summer tours at the Kickapoo Caverns in Crawford County, Wisconsin. I had no knowledge of caves, let alone those that serve as a hibernaculum for bats. But, I was very interested in learning. My job was to organize the registrants…

In Search of the True Buffalo Wing Recipe
Over our twenty-one years as Wisconsin residents, we have yet to find a Buffalo Wing recipe that is like the wings we grew up eating! Having lived in Buffalo, New York we had the pleasure of eating some of the city’s great “delicacies” such as the original Buffalo Chicken Wing. (There are others.) As…
Greening Up
Today, after finishing up another batch of fabric masks, I took a drive in my car. Individual family members have been periodically doing this to get out of the house and make sure our cars stay in working order. There are five of us home and we have four working vehicles. I don’t mind driving….

Today is Poetry Friday. I decided to write about Santa Fe, New Mexico as that is where my husband and I just went on vacation. My posted poems are never fine-tuned, so I hope you find it acceptable. But, along that vein, I think that it might be interesting to pull my poetry posts (not…
The Science of February
There are several things that I really like about the month of February and they do not have anything at all to do with Valentine’s Day! First, it is a short month. Even with leap year this year, it is still much shorter than January. This means fewer days of anticipated cold, snow, and general…
Silent Sunday: Water
Slice of Life Tuesday: The Erie Canal in Western New York
A lot of memories flooded my head when I was home last week visiting my parents in Western New York. This is the area in which I grew up – outside of Rochester, New York. My parents no longer live in the town where I went to high school but rather in an adjacent town,…
