The squash is coming in faster than I can use it. Thus, this week we had a heavy rainstorm, so I picked what I could ahead of it. Then I had to figure out what to do with it all. I shredded a lot of the

I normally only get them in isolation, meaning only one bird, but not today. Now here's a question for you: If you look at the picture above, which one is the male, and which one is the female? To make

I'm fed up and tired with "improved" products that just have a bunch of totally useless features added!

But of course, he wouldn't listen and simply ignored me. This thirsty guy on the water bowl is a Red-winged Starling (Onychognathus nabouroup), and I will also show you a lovely little squirrel baby. It

The manuscript for my upcoming book, Walking With The Muse has officially been handed off to the book designer today! These past few weeks have been wonderfully tiring. It’s been a joy sifting through
