		<description><![CDATA[Holy moly, it&#8217;s hot. I was just outside providing drought assistance to the suffering greenery. Now excuse me while I cower here in the air conditioning for a bit before making dinner. It has been such a busy work week. I have been chained to the desk. I can&#8217;t wait until the weekend. I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can&#8217;t pick up the newspaper or turn on the television without hearing more about the Gulf Coast oil disaster. The wildlife population will be devastated for years, perhaps decades, to come. You can help with the conservation, monitoring and aid to the birds by donating to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This is the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I am grateful for the internets. Over dinner we were talking about blast-from-the-past music and then blast-from-the-past comedy. Harry and I explained how we would play stacks of 45s on the turntable to my 19-year-old son. And I remembered my parents&#8217; Dick Newhart album and &#8220;Driving Instructor.&#8221;  And while we were talking about old comedy, who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sad it&#8217;s Sunday night. Nevertheless, today I am grateful that it was raining just enough this morning that I didn&#8217;t feel guilty trotting off to Annapolis for some shopping and to see a movie. (City Island &#8212; Good!) I am also grateful for the joy of little dogs who missed me while I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I am grateful that none of the four snakes we encountered in the garden were poisonous. I am also grateful that one of the snakes, a baby, provided several minutes of entertainment as I watched Maude, one of the senior hens, play keep-away with the other hens as she ran around with it in [...]]]></description>

And boy, do I have something interesting to show everyone when I can get a good photo! TGIF! Robin Ripley]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where have I been? Well, when I&#8217;m not inside working at my day job I&#8217;m mostly outside with a shovel. I have put my daily exercise routine on hold so I have the energy to do my gardening workout. The result is that most of the veggie garden is in for the season, except for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mowed today! It was the first mowing of the season&#8212;a little later than the first mowing last year on March 22. And this year I had to mow all 1.5 acres of yard with the push mower since Sitwell, the mower who loved to sit, decided to go to the big mower graveyard in [...]]]></description>
