Puddles Weblog edited by Thomas Hollyday

Our Mission: As world water resources decline and habitat is destroyed plans are being made by governments to save enough drinking water for humans. What about animals and wildlife?

In 1985 our editor Thomas Hollyday created Puddles to comment on our culture, our literature and our organizations and make sure animals and wildlife are remembered in this coming water crisis. Join him and others on the Puddles weblog with your comments and questions to make sure animals and wildlife are always protected with an adequate supply of clean drinking water.

Puddles weblog is named for Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, the home of the greatest animal champion in literature, Doctor John Dolittle, MD. Join us now!

02/07/2005: "Chesapeake History and Lore"

Chesapeake Gardens and Houses, the Eastern Shore, with photography by Taylor Lewis and text by Catherine Fallin, Simon and Schuster, 1993, has got to be one of the prettiest books on Maryland that I have ever seen. When you leaf through this book at various sittings, and it’s definitely a book for reviewing many times over, you get a tour of some of the best preserved antique houses and gardens as well as the finest of the new structures to grace the riverfronts of this Maryland region. Put it on your coffee table and invite conversation every time guests come over, I don’t care what part of the United States you are from. smile
