Meanwhile, Back at The Ranch: Happy Birthday to M.E.

Posted on August 1, 2011August 1, 2011 by Guests and Former Contributors

My birthday celebrations are changing in a good way. At the mention of Mother Earth, I imagined a woman with a crown of herbs and long flowing gown, not a tag rag, shorts, and a tank top.

My Little Victory Garden: Entry Three

Posted on March 7, 2011March 23, 2023 by Red Dirt Kelly

This conversation began when we were married twenty-five years ago. I use the milk past the pull date; Mick “pulls” it as soon as it expires. I will eat something if it “smells fine;” Mick critiques our rotation of refrigerated products…
