Get Out! Spring returns

By The Millbrook Times | March 30, 2019 - 12:13 pm |March 30, 2019 Uncategorized
Comments Off on Get Out! Spring returns

I have been writing this column since 2013 and I thought it might be worthwhile to re-publish some of the earlier columns from time to time. However, you may well remember that the publishing schedule was somewhat different several years ago. When The Millbrook Times was a weekly publication my… Continue reading →

Comments Off on Renewal comes again!

Comments Off on Happy Trails to You in 2019!

Happy New Year to everyone in Cavan-Monaghan! On the last Saturday of the old year I felt the need of a walk and so, in the late afternoon, I headed out to walk the Baxter Creek Trail from the Millbrook fairgrounds to Medd’s Mountain Park. It was a frigid but… Continue reading →

The Moons of Millbrook

By The Millbrook Times | November 29, 2018 - 8:17 am |November 28, 2018 Uncategorized
Comments Off on The Moons of Millbrook

On the night of November 23 I watched a beaver soar high into the sky from behind Medd’s Mountain. It rose silently, purposefully, and climbed into the starry night over the mill pond. In the unseasonably frosty air its face, turned toward me, was cold and bright and so big… Continue reading →

Comments Off on The Trees They Grow so High

What’s in a Weed?

Comments Off on What’s in a Weed? 

As October looms, we have just left behind what anyone with functioning sweat glands must agree was a very hot summer. As I write this, on the first official day of autumn, two words perfectly evoke the new feeling in the air and the new quality in the sunlight: sweater… Continue reading →

A Walk Along the Station Trail

Comments Off on A Walk Along the Station Trail

We are all very lucky that our township has an active committee that builds and maintains a wonderful series of trails. And they’re continuing their good work. I hope you read the lead story in the last edition of the Times about a new trail that connects our system of… Continue reading →

Comments Off on Comings and Goings

Gardeners don’t have it easy. There is always something that has us fretting. The predation of the fruit on my apple trees is one of those things. Squirrels and chipmunks are the usual felons but today I saw a Blue Jay pecking viciously and repeatedly at one of my apples…. Continue reading →

In the Catbird Seat

Comments Off on In the Catbird Seat

Spring mornings are one of the most beautiful times of the year for so many of us, certainly for me. The scent of the soil, the perfume of blossom, the beautiful palette of greens from trees and plant, and the song of birds all come together to create a blissful… Continue reading →
