US businessman honors country's fallen with Christmas wreaths Every December for the past 14 years, Morrill Worcester loads a truck with thousands of Christmas wreaths and drives to Arlington National Cemetery near the US capital to honor the country's fallen. With the help of volunteers he lays some 5,000 of the ornaments decorated with a simple red bow on the headstones of war heroes buried in an older part of the cemetery that receives few visitors. "It's the least I can do because of what they've all done for us," Worcester, 56, who owns a wreaths company in the eastern state of Maine told AFP in a telephone interview. more

Retired teacher serves coffee and a smile If commuters board NJ Transit trains at Little Silver's rail station with a bit of a smile on their faces in the morning, it could be due to the work of Mary Ann Ferrara. Ferrara, a retired school teacher from Sea Bright who commuted by train daily to Hoboken, feels their pain. For the past three years, she's served up coffee, a friendly remark, trivia questions, seasonal decorations and sometimes a little therapy at Java Junction, the coffee stand she runs inside the station.
Her patrons aren't passing customers — she calls them her "commuter family" and "commuter friends." If riders here are a family, Ferrara might be their den mother. Commuters said Ferrara's shop puts some levity in their day. more

Solstice a time to reflect on winter gardens - winter reading
Observe the winter solstice. This day marks the beginning of winter and has the shortest period of daylight. In the northeast they seem to be experiencing global warming first hand, perhaps there should be a change in our attitudes toward this fourth season and what, as gardeners, we should expect and attempt, perhaps the landscape should no longer be ignored for four months out of every year. more
