Plant Families: Asclepiadaceae - Milkweed!

Milkweeds are generally known for three things: a) they are the sole food source for Monarch butterfly larvae. b) They have a thick, milky sap and little parachutes attached to each and every seed in alien-looking pods. c) They do not fit into the scheme of the perfectly manicured, tidy, unnatural golf courses suburbanites call lawns and gardens and thus are the enemy.

The Advantages of Picking a Theme for Your Storytelling Program

Recently when I was asked to give a storytelling program at a Saturday night session hosted by our local MetroParks system, the woman calling wondered if I had a theme in mind. What a good idea! It not only helps with their write-up and advertising of the event, but also helps the storyteller plan a cohesive performance. Because I will be telling mid-March, I told her I would focus on trickster tales (in preparation for April Fool’s day). I already tell some trickster tales – everyone and all ages enjoy them – and I know that there are many more that I haven’t yet discovered and worked on, but will in the next few weeks. This will be the added benefit for me, because I will add some new, fun stories to my repertoire. In this column, I discuss some ideas for themes.
