We all know that time afield is a joy, and a fine way to relax amid busy lives. The way things are going globally, I am inclined to spend even more time away from social media and the evening news!

The movie industry is abuzz over the seven Oscars won by the film “Oppenheimer.” Fifty years ago, a Dustin Hoffman classic, “The Graduate,” also snared seven Oscars.

Did you miss the party on Dec. 28, 2023, while prepping for New Year’s Eve? No worries, you may celebrate in the privacy of your own home. The event was the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, one of the most consequential and controversial acts of Congress in our lifetimes.

It is that time of year again. The change of seasons heralds the arrival of winter visitors and my favorite is a ghost bird, the snowy owl. Whether I spot a bird on a church steeple or cruising over a field, it is a thrill to see these beautiful travelers from the north.
