LONE STAR COUNTRY
LONE STAR COUNTRY
As a child of the 90s living in the South Texas town of Edinburg, Matt Castillo grew up listening to Garth Brooks, Dwight Yoakum, George Strait and Randy Rogers on CD. Having moved to the Valley from Austin when he was in the third grade, Castillo carried the music of these next-generation legends with him, letting it seep into his bones to influence his own unique style of country. 10/11/2020 12:00 AM

For many fans who love to see their favorite sports in person, tailgating is as much fun as the event itself. And no tailgate is complete without ample amounts of food. Those who want to add a touch of Louisiana homecooking to their tailgates can try the following recipe for “Chicken, Crawfish and Sausage Gumbo” from Neal Corman and Chris Peterson’s “Virgil’s Barbecue Road Trip Cookbook” (St. Martin’s Press). 10/11/2020 12:00 AM

Dianthus looks to be absolutely ‘rockin’ for fall
Dianthus looks to be absolutely ‘rockin’ for fall
Central Texans who always procrastinate planting cool season color better be on top of it this year if they want Rockin dianthus. This was a new series last year and disappeared quickly. Rockin dianthus is coming out of Pan American Seed. And is perennial in zones 5a-8b. That is a huge area geographically meaning happiness for gardeners everywhere. 10/04/2020 12:00 AM

One of the most important roles of live theater is that it gives audiences a window — or sometimes a mirror — of empathy through which we can view the world. The theater is a safe space, but not one without discomfort. It’s a place where the stakes are not life and death, where we might be inspired to action or moved to tears, but at the end of the show, the lights go up, the curtains close, and the audience returns to normal life. 10/04/2020 12:00 AM
October Yard of the Month: Tended by the same hands since 1966
October Yard of the Month: Tended by the same hands since 1966
“All my plants have a story,” says Baudelia Arredondo, who has tended the same garden for over 50 years at her family’s home on Candlelight Lane in Sunset Acres. Built in 1966, her house was one of the first in a new subdivision adjoining Interstate 35 when the family began landscaping a bare lot. planting two pecan trees and lining the front walk with boxwood. As plants became established, the Arredondo home was chosen as an early yard of the month for San Marcos. As Spring Lake Garden Club repeats this honor some 50 years later, we celebrate Baudelia’s remarkable gardening skills, practiced even while she was employed full time and raising a family. 10/04/2020 12:00 AM
