April Happenstance

It's out! The latest issue of Happenstance, 

life happens; here are few things to look for:

Cindy Charlton's "I Charlton, a New Step, a New Music" is a moving commentary on the realities of her life and a tribute to resilience.

It's obvious in Patrick Alarid's Backyard Artistry, this is a man who enjoys creating water wise landscapes that are relaxing and inviting. I like his list of favorite plants and nurseries making it a little easier to embark on water wise gardening. He also kindly provided information about the June Garden Tour sponsored by CCHP.

In keeping with the water wise theme Rain Savers' Steve Reichert writes about the products available through his company, along with an inside look at how to determine what your home needs. There's also an article about water restrictions and alternative gardening recommendations from the Las Vegas water department.

Flower Power will return in mid-may. Read more from project coordinator Andrea Gottschalk.

A couple of Las Vegas women were enjoying the intrigue and history of Egypt when their trip was interruped by history in the making. Check out Witnesses to History.
 
Features return, including Featured Artist: Marti Nash, Recipes & Chat by Pamela G. Daves, Happenstance Kitchen and Connie Mack's Eclectically yours. Also look for wonderful submissions by Kim Delgado (The Stingy Woman, a Spanish folk tale), and Dona Josefita, a memoir from Barbara Perea Casey of a woman whose legacy is one of care and kindness. Robert Gallegos remembers Yesterday and the tools to be found in the backyard. And of course, "Tiger Lilly" continues.

There's more. Hope you will take the time to check it out.

My thanks to all the contributing writers and to Lisa Lawrence, whose painting graces the front of the April issue. It certainly carries out the "in the garden" theme I was aiming for. I love Lisa's work. There is an energy to it that makes me smile.

 

Enjoy Happenstance, life happens. I never know when the next one will be the last one. 

 

The May theme is Super Moms. Please submit your articles, ideas, stories, essays, poems, art and other material by April 22.
