AN UNPRESENTABLE GLORY
Linda Jensen leads a relatively quiet life in Westchester County, New York, as the owner of a highly-acclaimed garden. Inherited from her parents, the garden is her pride and joy.

Of Ants and Sandhill Cranes
Here I am again at Orange Lake Resort, Kissimmee FL, enjoying the "good life." I am, however, well aware of the army of ants that make and maintain all this wealth and luxury. In no particular order: • Cleaning ladies • Service responders • Shuttle drivers •...
