THE ROCKWOOD FILES : After 10 years of marriage, here's what I know

Gwen Rockwood rockwoodfiles@cox.net

“When I got married, I was stupid.” What I mean by that is, I had no idea just how huge a decision I was making. Sure, I’d heard all the blah-blahblah about how marriage is a big step, but it’s hard to comprehend the blah-blah when you’re in your early 20s. What I know now that I didn’t know then is that choosing a person to spend your life with is perhaps the biggest factor in how the rest of your life will go. Education is important. Jobs are important. But nothing even comes close to who you choose to trust, to spend your life with, to make babies with. Nothing comes close to that. - Sunday, November 16, 2008

FROM THE GARDEN: Now is the perfect time to add native plants to your landscape

Lynn Rogers lbr845@cox.net

After a killing frost and the leaves begin to fall, most gardeners clean and store their tools, close the garden for the winter and watch for the seed catalogs to arrive. But wait … this is one of the best times to plant woody perennials. Our soil is cool but doesn’t freeze thus providing optimum conditions for root growth. This allows plants to get a head start on growing before hot weather comes. - Sunday, November 16, 2008
