This summer, Ledcat and I took the plunge and signed up for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share through Kretschmann Farm. We get one delivery of fruits/veggies a week plus one chicken per month. Today, Ledcat picked up our first delivery. How exciting. We had no real idea what to expect, but here’s what arrived: […]
I didn’t intend to write this post because I don’t live in Homewood and I can’t articulate what would be in the best interests of those who do. Then I saw the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette weighed in on the matter so I thought I would, too. You can read more details here about community response to […]

This is a prompt guaranteed to launch a thousand “what might have been” tales of woe and heartache. Once upon a time, […]
The Prompt: Tell us about a time you’d been trying to solve a knotty problem — maybe it was an interpersonal problem, a life problem, a big ol’ problem — and you had a moment of clarity when the solution appeared to you, as though you were struck by lightening. OK, so first I have […]
First, if you put your tree at the curb – the City will take it, but it will NOT be recycled. That’s very important. I had a chat with a local organization that used to recycle trees and they told me it is not a very profitable endeavor – essentially they chip the trees into […]
(Update from Trish: I’ve received permission from my friend to share her story.
