Columbia Home Tour

Sunday is the day for the Columbia Home Tour in Howard County, and ticket holders will tour five distinctive homes in the first four villages constructed in the planned community.

They include a renovated townhouse on the water in Wilde Lake; a contemporary in Harper's Choice; a "green" home in Oakland Mills and a renovated patio home and a two-story brick traditional, both in Long Reach.

The tour begins at the Stonehouse at 8775 Cloudleap Ct. and the homes on the self-guided tour will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday

Tickets are $20 each through the Long Reach Community Association. Call 410-730-8113.

All proceeds benefit One Month's Rent Initiative, which helps those who are struggling to find housing.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
