The weekend brought a surprise; my gardening neighbor and a bag full of Dutch bulbs from her garden. She and I trade seeds and bulbs -- a sustainable practice for gardeners. I have a prolific sunflower and sugar pumpkin patch each year. I move the patch, rotating from one end of the yard to the other, giving the earth a good mulching before each long winter's nap. Last year, my neighbor admired my rows of baby sunflower plants and asked where I had purchased such hardy fall starters. Starters? I had no starters, these plants germinated from...

On a drive back from the Tri Cities, the first sign of home in the Touchet Valley comes into view just after you drive by the right turn that goes south. On that last stretch of Highway 124 before you get into Prescott, it lies to the left of the road and it's steeped in blue - a cooling sight on a hot day. We're talking, of course, about the Prescott swimming pool, which has been a fixture in the townscape for half a century, an oasis in the beautiful but dry summer wheat fields that invites to "come swim with us." It's a community asset in...
