SOUTHERN MAKER: Sweeping Beauties

WHEN GEORGE Jones Jr.'s great-grandfather began crafting brooms during the Great Depression, it was because he needed another source of income to support the farm he managed. Jones' grandfather learned the skill too. But by the time Jones himself was taught to create brooms in 1986, it was less about survival and more about beauty. This Jones aimed to make the family trade his own.

The Powerg Poinsettias

A little while back, a neighbor knocked on my door, hoisting up a ruby red plant so enormous it concealed her completely from midriff to head. I was new to the area, and this was her way of welcoming me. A poinsettia, vividly colored, overflowing its pot, and endearingly ill-timed-it wasn't even Thanksgiving yet. But the plant seemed to brighten up the whole world just a bit, as if daring anyone to reject the early holiday spirit.
