Making Myself Vulnerable to Feedback
Today, I posted a short story on my Medium.com site. I hope you take the time to read it. It is lengthy, about twice as long as my usual posts. However, I want some feedback on this story. The tough part of submitting to publications is that very often don’t give you any kind of…
Foodie Monday: Lemon Drizzle Cake by Baker Icon
One of the most positive things about moving is that our magazine deliveries have stopped. We were getting three issues of the Food Network Magazine, two of Eating Well, a copy of All Recipes, and Cooking Light. The Cooking Light magazine was the only one I had subscribed to and expected to receive. The others…
Making Homemade Pasta For the First Time
My sister-in-law gave us a pasta-making attachment for our kitchen aide mixer for Christmas. It was a complete gift including a pasta-making cookbook, drying rack, ravioli forms, and three attachments for the mixer. Last Wednesday, we perused the cookbook and decided on an egg-based ravioli filled with a cheese and basil mixture. The basil was…
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…

What’s Up with That? Why Are People so Nasty Online?
Today, I posted my blog to my Medium.com page. Here is the link: https://carollabuzzetta.medium.com/im-so-tired-of-the-astonishing-number-of-nasty-people-online-93f8aa214784 What do you think about this phenomenon? And, why am I finding it so often in conservation groups, nature groups, and groups about gardening? It bothers me immensely! Thanks for stopping by!
Weird! Plants That Do Not Need Soil!
Have you ever heard of a plant that doesn’t need soil to thrive? There are a whole group of such plants! They are called epiphytes! You might know them as air plants. I first became interested in epiphytic plants when I was leading an after-school garden club for elementary students, years ago. Planning a holiday…
