“Leaves of Grass” when he was 35. He worked as a journalist to stay alive. His influence on other writ- ers was dramatic.

Ranch Sonoma County Apple Bread in local stores. Tey are in Sebasto- pol. Tis is as close to my great-


grandmother’s “no preservatives, no additives, no chemicals” approach to baking as one can get. –Would


also like to visit Koslowski Farms in Forestville, CA. Truly great jams. Happy 4th of July to all!


Have a safe and really healthy summer! ~Ellie
