Notes from my back porch...
Brr...but I'm not complaining! It is a relief to experience the weather in its
"back to normal" state -- below freezing, below zero in some places in
northern New England. But, unfortunately, still very little snow where I live.
In any case, we still need to be careful when we brave the elements to
exercise. I haven't used my cross country skis yet, but I'm still doing a lot of
walking (with the dog), and this week's feature on tips on staying active (and
safe) in the cold weather are good to remember whatever you're doing
outside. Click here for story: Staying Active in New England's Cold Weather.

in all the markets throughout the winter, a pale commercial shadow of the

look forward to the late winter arrival of artichokes from California...
