Dr. Leana S. Wen, an emergency physician and clinical associate professor at George Washington University, believes Kennedy, the Health and Human Services secretary, may seek the removal of “aluminum salts” from vaccines. He believes this ingredient can cause conditions from autism to asthma to food allergies.

Well, here we go again, DAYLIGHTS SAVINGS TIME!
How many of you are as excited and eager as I am to have my entire routine disturbed (nearly traumatized), with adhering to moving our clocks forward one hour? Spring forward, Fall back. I’d rather gain that hour than lose an hour.
It’s not only my slumber it bothers, it’s my entire lifestyle for the next six months and then, we do it again. Yes, it takes me the full spring forward thing to acclimate my lifestyle and then when I get okay it all goes in the opposite direction once again.

I am still surprised. . .
When driving to familiar places, when walking over the land, and when on back roads.
Our landscape has changed.
As it regrows, heals, and is cleaned up our landscape will continue to change. The wounds of the ice storm will leave scars, even though grass, new plants, and new trees may cover them.
I love to wake up and spend some time drinking my morning coffee and looking out the window at my flower garden (whether dormant or blooming), the bird feeders, the little pond, and the trees within my sight.
