A Better Place?

There was quite the political explosion last week about the first-in-the-nation congestion pricing program that took effect in Manhattan last month, including comments from Suffolk County, although many miles away. The administration of President Donald Trump last week rescinded what had been federal approval of the program.

Watching Nature

Morning, past its twilight, the sun fills and warms the still air. In the ditch row, and protected places, the cardinal’s voice is up against many, while the wrens single themselves out and assert from three different locations. One is at the horse farm, one in the unpruned roses at Dr. Stock’s, and the last is near the woodpile in my mother’s backyard. Starlings command the slightly obnoxious high register; an obscure melody that some would contend is too sophisticated for the human ear exists between flocks. The sound is spring’s first mention of itself, and while it may be ... by Marilee Foster
