The Python Has Landed… and Needs a Name
I’m back from a wonderful week at Blue Mountain Lake, NY. What an astoundingly beautiful place! I will write more about our amazing adventure, where I climbed a mountain—and more!— later.
Our Python is at home in front of our studio/gallery. Designed and painted by artist Stephanie Margush, he—or she?— is resting comfortably, waiting […]

My Town Monday: The Animals That Didn’t Get Away
In a previous My Town Monday post, I wrote about the story of the Peninsula Python, where a runaway python, or the story thereof, terrorized the Village of Peninsula in the summer of 1944. Folks have long speculated what happened to the python, although no one really knows for sure.

My Town Monday: Take a Ride on the Wild Side
Today’s post is a short one—the beautiful weather and the garden have been calling my name. For the record, the garden is planted, except for a couple of Roma tomato plants.
