Apr. 12—Old-timers around these parts say that you don't plant your garden here on the Camas Prairie until after the snow has melted off the mountain south of town. Over the years I have found this to be good advice. As long as I wait for the snow to melt I'm pretty likely to get a nice crop, even though I might not get the seeds in the ground until June.

Mar. 1—The world is divided, as we know, into winners and losers and for the most part I have been a loser.
