MY LATEST RELEASE
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.

Ignoring all alarm bells, Linda sees to his needs, but her caring act takes on unexpected significance, an unpresentable glory.

Sometimes things happen
Fifty years ago we bought 280+- acres of Vermont woodland and became instant Tree Farmers. After all, hadn't we just read a library book on the subject? We bought two bow saws and quickly realized that cutting even one tree with them might consume a lifetime. Note:...
The Judges' Verdict
Last Sunday we went to the Deerfield Fair in New Hampshire. I love fairs, but that's not why we went. We wanted to see how daughter Rachel's crocheted bedspread stood up against other handcrafted items. How would it be judged? We finally located the proper building...
