Lake Orange offers some of the best bluegill fishing in the state. The rich waters at Orange grow big ‘gills and the clean, clear water makes them especially good to eat. Now is the time to catch some. The big males are guarding the beds. Popping bugs and wet flies are proven bluegill catchers, but a juicy red wiggler or a fat mealworm will also trigger strikes. Lake Orange offers boat rentals … [Read more...]

Pop Up Parchment
I have recently discovered the joy of parchment paper, not just for baking cookies and using beneath other objects that stick to the pan, but for anything you’d like to cook that makes cleaning up an easier task. So I have been burning through the parchment paper. A few weeks back – completely out of the non-stick stuff – I saw an interesting product beside the normal rolls of parchment paper. … [Read more...]

Remembering Birds
By Sherman Shifflett After a recent article about birds in CvilleBuzz, I started thinking about the birds I saw as a kid and how many of those species have become scarce. My family left Covesville in 1957, and I don't think I have seen a Baltimore Oriole since then. I remember a sycamore tree near our bus stop and I used to see the orioles in that tree. Seems to me that they built … [Read more...]

Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks
It’s always exciting to see a new bird at your feeder. Not that the old faithful’s aren’t worthy visitors, but to see an unfamiliar bird is special. About two weeks ago, I saw such a bird. It was a cloudy day and early in the morning, so the light wasn’t good, but I did not recognize the bird on the sunflower heart feeder. I had a hunch and looked it up and it was, as I thought, a female … [Read more...]

The Smell of Youth
As Boomers look back over the years, smells and odors often trigger keen memories. They remind us of the events of our youth. Several distinct odors stand out in this Boomer’s mind. The smell of new denim jeans, for one. Today, it’s next to impossible to find a pair of jeans that hasn’t been stonewashed, ripped into shreds and put through the wringer before they even hit the shelves. They … [Read more...]
