    How old can some of our plants get??

    I don't know who would know this. I've never seen anything in the field guides about how long some plants and bushes live. But I'm curious. BobM and I were at the Gloucester Furnace area walking around and we saw these large bushes. They aren't terribly tall, maybe 6 feet, but they have the...

    New novel about the Pine Barrens

    I was looking on Amazon and saw this. I don't know if it's a new book or not, but it's new to me. It's called The Barrens: a Novel of Suspense and it was written by Joyce Carol Oates. I read the description and it sounds good. I'll ask for it for my birthday. :)
