Country CousinIssue Date: May 22, 2019 Sunny and warm, or at least warmer
Was afraid that the beautiful Thursday we enjoyed two weeks ago was our summer for the year. Am more than a little relieved to find that a return visit is promised for Memorial Day weekend. The weathermen promise sunshine for most of the weekend, and we're supposed to enjoy temperatures around the 70-degree mark on Saturday and Sunday.

By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
For some reason, one of my sisters and I became horse-crazy little girls. Our great-grandfather, Edward Thibodeau, owned a mare named "Maggie" he doted on - but she was not just the apple of his eye, she was his transportation as she pulled a buggy on the streets of Peshtigo.

Spring seems to have finally sprung! Had a beautiful weekend, and Monday - naturally Monday - gave us wonderful shirtsleeve weather, the best so far this year. There's more rain in the forecast, but nothing serious. Tornadic like storms predicted for some parts of the country appear to be not aimed at TIMESland.
Now that Spring seems to have arrived, can breathe a sigh of relief. Had feared that this would be the year of the awful Fimbulvinter. In case you haven't scanned Norse mythology, the Fi...

From My WindowIssue Date: May 16, 2019 A Single Step on a Difficult Journey
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
I want to be environmentally responsible. I want to reduce the negative footprint my life leaves on our besieged planet. But it's difficult to do, so I have decided on one new short-term focus to augment other things I already do. My goal is to reduce the amount of plastic I use in the kitchen and for food/drink.
Our country alone generates 300 million tons of plastic a year. Only about five percent of that total gets recycled so most plastic is us...
