Stories by Lynne Irons

Blowing in the Wind

February 13, 2020
Lynne Irons

It was too rainy and chilly at the beginning of the week to begin the major yard cleanup. This task is now necessary as a result of last Friday night’s scary wind event. I did not lose any...

Pruning Time

February 6, 2020
Lynne Irons

My mother died seven years ago at the beginning of February. We had to postpone her funeral a few times as major blizzards prevented me from the 500-mile road trip. This year the ground has really...

Frosted Flakes

January 30, 2020
Lynne Irons

On a particularly beautiful morning last week I was driving past Polly Hill Arboretum. In the field across the street there were several dozen Canada geese. Because the field had frozen the night...

Whine Time

January 23, 2020
Lynne Irons

I admit I’ve been lulled into denial about January weather. Last week’s lovely days up into the 40s did not prepare me for the cold blast of last weekend. I heat with wood without the...

Lynne Irons

Christmas week produced some beautiful weather. The sun was almost noticeably warmer. Back in the 1970s when the children were small, we made a cassette tape on Christmas morning. We opened the door...

Year's Up

December 26, 2019
Lynne Irons

Here it is the end of yet another year and of the decade. All the news outlets are running articles on what has happened so I will not bother. The light has changed imperceivably. It’s the...

December 19, 2019
Lynne Irons

There is nothing quite like a couple of pre-Christmas snowfalls. It is so pretty with all the lights. I will admit I am happy it does not stick around. It tends to lose its appeal when a person needs...

Waterworks

December 12, 2019
Lynne Irons

That was some serious rain on Monday afternoon and evening. There were several inches in various buckets on the property. I read once in an old book entitled The Gardener’s Bed Book that it is...
