barrio fiesta easter

It's never too early in the year to enjoy some bone licking good barbeque. Summer is the height of the season - when backyards send of wafting scents to tantalize us on our neighborhood walkabouts.

For our Easter feast this year, we went with Myron Mixon's Pitmaster Barbeque from close by Hoboken, New Jersey. Going whole hog with Myron's award-winning competition recipes of the best sourced meats cooked in custom built smokers.

the merry and magical magpie

There are magpies in the neighbourhood! 


This little scavenger of the corvid family has populated the imagination of humans since we noticed its beautiful black-and-white pattern and its chattering, cheeky nature.

The first-ever National Poetry Month was launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996, but the history of poetry itself goes back thousands of years ago.

spring around the world

It's nearly April 1st! The flowers are growing, the trees are in various stages of bud, and the clock has flipped forward so we can have more hours of daylight...to work. We suspect it's actually so that people who have to attend work can end early and have a spare hour or two to gather their share of Vitamin D.

magic made real

World Storytelling Day which occurs annually on March 20 is a day that celebrates the global art of storytelling. Whether the story has words, pictures, signs, rhythm, or expression - all forms of storytelling are appreciated by wonder | wander | women and many others. 

The day acknowledges the art form of storytelling and encourages diversity among different cultures and races. Join us to celebrate one of the oldest forms of communication - enjoying each letter, sound, word as they form phrase, sentence, picture.

The history of storytelling dates back to the stone age. Over the years cave paintings, drawings, and messages have become a source of information.

These remnants of ancient knowledge still contain uncovered secrets that continue to educate us about the past and reveal how humans lived and interacted.
