The 21st Annual Vintner Series returns at the Blair House Inn for the year 2022 as vineyards across the Hill Country look to showcase their wines.

The plant we notice in January is Cedar, especially if you are allergic to Cedar pollen that is released into the air starting in December. The native Cedar of Central Texas is Juniperus ashei. There are many kinds of cedar found throughout the world and they are all in the Cypress family. The Cypress family includes Redwoods, Sequoias and the Cypress trees found along our local waterways. The plants of the Cypress family have aromatic wood that is pest and decay resistant.

What a year 2021 was. Coming out of 2020 with the lights of the Great White Way on Broadway dimmed, many people said that live theatre was doomed, that it couldn’t be produced, that it was just too hard.

The Gin Game and It Had to Be You opened with socially distanced audiences. They expanded their live-streaming capabilities. They brought The Rocky Horror Picture Show to a Wimberley audience under the stars, for the first time ever. They staged three amazing full run (and full house!) shows: Nunsense, Sleuth and Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol.

The weatherman says the La Nina weather pattern is responsible for our unusually warm start to December. As you read this column we have passed the shortest day of the year, Winter Solstice, and now the days are getting longer.

There are two things that everyone should know about me.

This is the first in a three part series on Joyce Webb and her life in the music industry.

When asked how many times he has sung the song “Cherish” Jules Alexander answers with a laugh: “Oh man, I don’t know. I couldn’t even get close. But it’s a lot.”
