Small lawns can be dethatched using a specialized, hand-held dethatching rake or an iron rake. Or, use a dethatcher that attaches to a sit-down mower (see photo in Part 1 of 2).

Featured is the work of Phyllis Taylor of Longmeadow, an award-winning artist, whose work is found in public and private collections throughout New England. Her vivid images depict portraits, landscapes, and still life. Ms. Taylor’s work reflects her dynamic style, developed over many years. She is an active, long-time member of the Tobacco Valley Artists Association.

Keeping Warm in Winter

Some people just know how to beat the cold. My friend in high school was one of them. She had kinfolk from Vermont, which definitely gave her the edge in the sub-zero department. And, I suspect there was some Nordic blood coursing through her veins, as she and her siblings were tow heads, sauna aficionados and, built like Sonja Henie or Ole Einar Bjørndalen, definitely prepared to go the distance. I never willingly would sign up to race any of them up or down any hill in town, snow covered or otherwise.
At any rate, my friend had an arsenal of tricks developed over the years to beat the winter weather.

“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition.
