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…
Today, I posted on Medium.com. I have finally met the threshold for being paid as a writer on that platform. Therefore, for now, at least, I will be cross-posting between my WordPress blog and Medium page. https://carollabuzzetta.medium.com/the-best-way-to-start-your-day-not-1b6c769304d0 Thank you!
Yesterday, I linked my Medium.com post on my blog here. I wrote the post on Medium and left a link here. Overnight, it went viral and is still accumulating views and has been read almost 1,000 times. It’s too bad that I’m not already behind the paywall on that platform! If you’d like to read…

Wow! While shopping at a Country Market in Medford, Wisconsin this past week, I found that they carry two food items that I have not been able to find in Wisconsin for the last 23 years! Both are foods that we typically bring back with us from a trip to Western New York because that’s…
When you move it’s important to be organized and efficient. We were. My husband managed his shop and major indoor projects like fixing the tiny holes left in walls by hanging artwork. He also made sure the yard was in good shape. We had 3.25 acres and lots of gardens, so that was a major…
“When in Rome do as the Romans do.” Isn’t that the saying? The Northwoods of Wisconsin is probably as far from Rome as you can get, but as we find ourselves in a new place, I think it also calls for a resetting of routines. My husband thought that I could kayak with him as…
My blog was posted to Medium.com today. You can view the piece here. I am co-posting most days from WordPress to Medium. Today, I wrote on Medium and am posting the link here. I am looking for more followers on my medium.com page. Please consider following my writing there. Thanks.
I don’t have many regrets about life. But, one I do have is that we lived in Baltimore for two years and we never went to the Concert- Fireworks on the Capitol lawn in Washington, D.C. You know, the one they show on PBS – a Capitol Fourth I think it is called. The time…
