The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do. Galileo Galilei, Italian Astronomer (1564-1642) I have always been fascinated with the sky, during the day; the bright sunshine, the puffy clouds, the blue…

Like many parts of the country, there is a lack of rainfall where I live. When there is a lack of water, the dry areas become exposed. This has been true for my yard. The yard has a sprinkler system, but it does not reach all the zones. It was not noticeable until this summer…
