		<description><![CDATA[I have vowed that this will be the year we make progress on converting the yard and garden to native plants. This means saying goodbye to the orange daylilies, forsythia, dwarf almond, lilac, and crape myrtle sprout (the large one can stay for now). Wait wait, you might be saying: most of these are popular, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Purple crocuses. White and purple crocuses. After several years of hoping, my crocus bed is now full of crocuses! It&#8217;s nice to be greeted at the sidewalk steps by perky little flowers when returning from our walks. The daffodils are budding, and we have the first flower along the side of the house. I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

We first headed to Lake Artemesia, and kept on driving when we saw a park ranger directing people into the lot and a big sign announcing a fishing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the Tuesday after Labor Day we drove up to Maine from Rhode Island. It was a beautiful day for a drive, and we weren&#8217;t expected at the house until the evening, so we stopped at several places along the way. At the Kittery Visitors&#8217; Center, we picked up a number of leaflets about regional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve hiked around Patuxent NWR, and I took advantage of yesterday&#8217;s beautiful clear afternoon to suggest a trip up there. The full Cash Lake trail was open, not yet closed for the season to protect the waterfowl that winter at the park. In addition to getting some fresh air [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The echoing silence around here has been due to our absence. We were off in the Great White North last week, visiting family and collecting blueberries from the family farm. Usually when we arrive this time of year the bushes are laden with fruit, so much so that it&#8217;s impossible to pick them all. Along [...]]]></description>

I was surprised to empty it, and it definitely came in handy during the dry spell. We have yet to set up the second one, although we could have used it. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I talk with neighbors about our yard, they are uniformly positive about the way it looks. Which I can understand: we eradicated the pokeweed orchard in the back corner; we cut the vines back out of the trees; we&#8217;ve pruned deadwood and limbed up the border hollies; and we&#8217;ve managed to create relatively weed-free [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a general rule, I don&#8217;t like to spread poisons around. Not inside the house, not on the lawn, not to kill bugs, and not on any of the plants I&#8217;ve planted. There are, of course, exceptions. For the first couple of years we lived here, we sprayed poison in a perimeter around the foundation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of the Gay Butterflies Butterfly Weed assortment to bloom. One of my goals in selecting plants to add to our garden is to attract more butterflies and predator insects. As with the desire to have more birds, it&#8217;s my hope that the mosquitoes can be kept to a minimum by natural predation. So far, [...]]]></description>
