Nature’s First Green

Spring is apparently going to do its thing and I am contemplating buying masks specifically for warding off pollen. Does anyone know where I can find this shade of green?

The alternative is staying inside until the first frost. (Masking outside makes me feel ridiculous but it sure beats steroids.)

Speaking of Spring, there are plenty of good reasons for wanting to be outside.

The 2026 season over at Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods begins in April. Take a look at what’s coming up.

Possibly my favorite outdoor-oriented local post is this one from Clark’s Elioak Farm.

ISO: Volunteers at the farm. We're looking for kids 12 years (or older) or adults to come out on the weekends.

Volunteers are stationed in our Bunny Barn, holding rabbits and Chicks for our visitors to pet and learn about.

Morning shift of 10 AM to 1:30 PM or an afternoon shift of 1 PM to 4:30 PM. Please message for more details.

Serious inquiries only please. We're looking to create a consistent schedule- now through early June, June through the end of August, and September and October.

We'd love if you could commit at least two months at a time, so you can get to know the animals and we can get to know you. Thanks!

It looks like this local opportunity was irresistible.

****Update**** thank you so much for so much interest so quickly! Right now please note that we are on pause and do not need anymore volunteers at this time. But when we do, we will post here again. Thank you again so much for everyone that's reached out.

I guess you really need to jump on those opportunities at the Bunny Barn.

Have a great Monday.

Teacher Gifts

Today is the last day of school before the Winter Break. It’s a good time to remember the far-reaching nature of our public school system. You may not have children. You may have sent your children to independent schools. It matters not. You will be impacted one way or another. Yesterday I read a long thread on Facebook about several waves of illness in the schools right now. There’s influenza A and norovirus, I believe. And of course there’s COVID. Apparently in some individual schools the rate of illness is high enough for school admin to notify parents. When I was little the acceptable holiday gift for a teacher was one of those lovely floral handkerchief squares. (I don’t know what it was for male teachers. They were rare in my elementary years.) These days the range of teacher gifts is wider and I have fond memories of Target gift cards which I have written about before. I think it’s safe to say that giving one’s teacher Influenza, norovirus, or COVID is not the ideal holiday...

Getting Fresh

One of my favorite days in the Spring comes when this year’s list of Farmer’s Markets is released. That happened this week. New this year are markets in Old Ellicott City and the “Merriweather Market” which, according to the address, will be located here . I mistakenly thought at first glance that it was in the new-construction part of the Merriweather District. I find the name confusing considering its actual location. I’m going to guess that this market is an initiative of the Howard Hughes Corporation because the name seems chosen more for branding purposes than anything else. Alas, the market in Maple Lawn is gone. The thread on the markets on the County Executive’s FB page will provide you with quite the education in who actually runs the Farmers Markets vs what people often think is going on. Short answer: they are not chosen nor run by the county. Each market is an independent entity, sometimes started by community volunteers, other times supported by local businesses...

They Can Wait

This is not a typical Saturday post. That’s because, in my community, it’s not a typical Saturday. Oakland Mills High School, after years of deferred repair, needs massive renovation. It’s pretty simple: when you don’t fix a problem it gets bigger. The school system itself said the the OMHS school building was "no longer conducive to learning" back in 2018. 2018 . But Thursday the Boad of Education voted to push it out of the lineup of important projects which will be given the go-ahead to proceed soonest. In my opinion it’s a terrible decision and sets a dangerous precedent. To explain, here’s the advocacy letter I sent in support of Oakland Mills High School. I was rather proud of it. I am writing to ask you to proceed with needed renovation at Oakland Mills High School in the most timely and comprehensive manner humanly possible. I have read the letter sent to you by the Oakland Mills Community Association and I am in complete agreement. You are extremel...
