Kale-a-Rama was Awesome, and so is Veganism
I was soooo impressed with the “first-ever” Kale-a-Rama Festival that was a major happening recently in Roosevelt Center, I had to find out who or what was behind it. Here’s what I found out via organizer Cam MacQueen. Who Made it Happen There were four organizers of the event, all vegans and active the animal [...]
The Green Man Cometh!
If proof were ever needed that Greenbelters 1), care about Mother Earth and 2), know how to have fun, one need look no farther than the Green Man Festival, scheduled to return for the 9th year this coming weekend. This year it’s dedicated to our forests (didn’t someone proclaim this Greenbelt’s Year of the Forest?) [...]
Not just a Walk in the Woods
Michele Owens, my blogging partner in Upstate New York, recently showed off the wonderful woodland path where she walks with her “big handsome alpha dog” every day. Her story is that it took having a dog that needed walking for her to discover a place she enjoys as much as her own voluptuous vegetable garden. [...]

Bernie and Greenbelt’s Blue-Tailed Wonder

Kids and their Pets
A highlight of our highlight-filled Labor Day Festival has gotta be the Kids Pet Contest. Here are just a few of the reasons. Now I think I understand why there are soooo many pugs on the wildly popular animal blog Cute Overload that I check religiously. It’s the hamminess, those eyes, the tongue! I was [...]
How to follow this (or any) blog
Here’s a brief tutorial on the ways that readers can follow this or any blog that may interest them, all of which are more convenient than trying (and usually failing) to remember to click on them occasionally, sometimes only to find nothing new there. Which can cause a soul to lose interest in checking that [...]
Fritz, our first featured Dog of Greenbelt
Barely out of his puppyhood but already the gentleman, Fritz here is a familiar sight around town. This handsome redhead is half miniature poodle and half cockapoo, so owner Jeannette Holman calls him a cockapoopoo. Send us your dog photos! Email Greenbelt Live to have photos of your best canine friends posted here for all [...]
