low-stress ideas for living a deeper shade of green
Red Wine – I’d be lost with out it! My first experience with Chilean wine was back around 1995, when my children’s nanny — a wonderful Chilean woman — brought me a bottle. I’m thinking, Chile? … how good can this wine be? I will be the first to say, this “pseudo wine snob,” was [...]
RePurposing in the Garden – Part II Mary, Mary quite contrary … WAIT A MINUTE! Why would mary be “contrary” when we’re talking about how her garden grows? She’s pretty darn clear about how it grows, ” … with silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in row.” Putting aside the rhyme and [...]
It was a happy thought to bring to this dark seasons’s frost and rime, to this painted memory of spring, this dream of summertime. – Whittier Yes, spring has sprung around here! Trees and flowers are blooming and buds of summer fun are everywhere, and so of course are many of our allergies. More on [...]
April 22 – Earth Day. Hmmm? An important day for sure to create and increase awareness … to assure respect and love for Mother Earth continues from one generation to the next. I just don’t want Earth Day to become another Veterans Day, Mother’s Day or What-have-you DAY; a day we set aside once a year to remind folks of what’s [...]

This week’s show went to the dogs! Well not really, but we did dedicate the show to pets — from the furry and fluffy to the slimy and scaly and of course the feathery. All the Green Divas (and new audio green dude, Rob) in the studio for this week’s show were pet owners and [...]
Oh how we love our pets; whether it’s a pooch or a kitty kitty, one with feathers or scales, or others that hop, crawl, squeak, creep or climb … they bring joy into our lives. At the moment I have 3-cats. They, like momma are all green pets and love up cycling! Awesome Kitty Hammock [...]
As always, we had an action-packed show with a lot of information between the bawdy jokes and general ribaldry. It must be spring . . . In our mixed-bag opening, Green Dude Eco Ed talked about an innovative student who has developed a way to clean up some of the plastic and other garbage floating [...]
My parents emigrated from Europe in 1957. After 5 brief years in Brooklyn, NY, they bought the house in which I grew up.
