One Foot In Heaven That was the name of a book and or movie of many years ago. The title itself has always been intriging.

White in color, graced in garments of years past, sunshine of the early morning bore down upon the first little church, my gift to cherish and attend. We knew we were in the right place as the wide sign of the cross declared holy intentions of a congregation to mark the land in the name of God....

By: Jill Pertler This column idea started innocently enough. Dating after 50. How much could there be to write about such a narrow topic? Turns out that might be a facetious question. The original column spurned a part two, and now, here, a part three. I’m not promising this is the last, because I guess dating after 50 is complex, interesting and just a little bit hilarious. Who would’ve guessed? Certainly not me because – I’ve said it before, but I’ll write it again. My last dating experience ended in 1987. So, I’m beyond unqualified...

Combining Hollywood pizazz with soulful swagger, Three Dog Night sounded big and brassy even in their quietest moments. The bold, colorful blend of show biz savvy, punchy horns, and gutsy vocals gave Three Dog Night a remarkable string of Top Ten singles in the early 1970s, hits that helped define the dawning of post-hippie pop music. A creation with three lead singers, Three Dog Night didn't write their own material, choosing instead to bring attention to emerging songwriters of their era. Seve...

Supporting pollinators has become increasingly important as concerns over pollinator population decline are more evident. The good news is that even small spaces can provide resources for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Containers offer many options, from simple, single-plant systems to multi-level and extended blooming displays. For those who like to keep things simple, stick to shorter plants that will not get top-heavy...
