Chadds Ford’s Katharine King had a dilemma. She was tending to a new batch of baby chicks when the power went out Tuesday. The chicks had been shipped from Colorado and were less than a week old. Nutrient from the yolk sustains them for shipping, but after that, and at less than a week old, they needed to be kept in an area where the temperature…

While the region was dealing with a power outage, the sun shows its power with a burst of rays.
My name is Biscuit and I suspect I was named that for my love of doggie treats. I’m a young guy who could use some brushing up with my manners, but as thanks for you working with me I will shower you with kisses and snuggles.

I find it both bewildering and entertaining when so many of my clients’ homes are peppered with a random array of socks. They are mostly clean socks. Seldom are they attached to their mate. And they are everywhere. Dozens and dozens of them. Dealing with socks can be a test of patience. They are useless unless you have a pair so finding the correct mate…
We, as a nation, are stunned that nine people—African Americans—were murdered in Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. They had welcomed their killer into their sanctuary for bible study. The sight of the perpetrator, white Dylann Storm Roof, donning a bullet proof vest as he was guided carefully into a police vehicle was also startling. Startling because I don’t recall ever seeing any person…
