EXPLORING NATURE: SPARROWS
Tiring of my usual backyard birds such as black-crested titmice, Carolina wrens and northern cardinals, I traipsed over to the Patsy Glenn Refuge one recent afternoon and walked to a bird blind at the back of the property. Multiple seed feeders and a water feature make this blind a real magnet for birds. 04/03/2022 05:00 AM

Wimberley Players present ‘The Cover of Life’ opening Friday, April 29
“The Cover of Life,” by R. T. Robinson opens on the Wimberley Players stage April 29 and runs through May 22. Tood, Weetsie and Sybil are all brides in rural Louisiana in 1943. Each is married to a Cliffert brother. The men are off to war, and a local news story about these young wives keeping the home fires burning intrigues Life Magazine editor Henry Luce. He decides that they belong on the cover and assigns reporter Kate Miller to the story. She has been covering the war in Europe. Though she views doing a “women’s piece” as a career set-back, she accepts the assignment because it will be her first cover story. Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women. Her haughty urban attitude gives way to sympathy as she begins to understand them while coming face-to-face with her own powerlessness in a man’s world. Filled with charm and fun, “The Cover Of Life” is a deeply affecting story about the struggle for self-worth. 04/03/2022 05:00 AM
