Did anybody notice where they went? This little bunny is wondering. I think he must be a member of batch #6 from the local bunny population. We haven’t seen any this small lately, so perhaps they are done making batches of baby bunnies. He was sitting next to the sidewalk munching weeds. The last time […]

We have a new plan. The weeds are absolutely amazing, and trying to keep them in check is going to be impossible with the current garden plan. So, we are going to put landscape cloth all over the back half of the garden, and cover it with a few inches of bark mulch or […]

Banff National Park is our most favorite place of all time, and we got to visit there for a few days last week. It’s been at least six years since we were last there, and we were curious if the scenery would still blow us away as much as it had in the past. Yep, […]

Ok, so maybe not an over abundance of anything remotely resembling excitement. Wouldn’t wanna disturb his nap! He loves to sack out in the sun room.

Our first garden produce was, predictably enough, radishes. This makes us very optimistic for the other things we have planted.

Opal and Mishkin were both justifiably concerned by this announcement. While the bear was frozen with shock at the unfamiliar […]

When this weather moved in, and before it socked in, misty rain was falling to the west. Sizing the full sized picture […]

There are two schools of thought on birding, and the lines are drawn between those who keep a life list and those who do not. We are in both camps, listing and just being outside watching birds, listening to them and seeing what they are up to. Our recent birding trip added a new life […]

We’d seen evidence bears were up and around, but hadn’t seen one in our yard until yesterday. We see bears around here, starting in May and this year is no exception. We were watching from the window next to Oro’s cage. Oro had been watching the bear warily but quietly, until we showed up to […]

Spring Comes To Those Who Wait. And wait. Our big project for this year is building a garden and a greenhouse. The gravel pad for the greenhouse was the first step, since the heavy equipment operator would be here anyway removing some of the old garden posts and pulling out trees and bushes. Our friend […]
