Windsor, England is a fascinating city with a bustling, but not crazily crowded town centre and Windsor Castle crowning the city. I know it is proper to call England “The UK” or Britain, but I still use England because it is an ancient term and reeks of history. One of my favorite places in England has alway been Windsor.

I have stayed in Windsor several times and was fortunate to discover the Langton House Bed and Breakfast early on. Now, a...

My tomatoes suffered, my peppers suffered and my wallet suffered from the water bill. Hopefully, the extreme heat spells are over. Just to be safe we are going to start the fall/winter garden with the hardiest: chard, collards and kale. These three represent the healthiest of the healthiest we can grow and can take a little heat if it does happen again. Collards: the song of the South. The Celtics bro...
