Much of what we are seeing is damage from the very cold winter we experienced. Many of our shrubs did not have an opportunity to acclimatize to the cooler temperatures prior to those severe freezing temperatures we saw in December. Then, the continued single … (0 comments)

The Canada geese have returned. The same pair has nested on our pond for the last 17 years. They mate for life and rebuild the same nest year after year.

The adolescent offspring depart to greener shorelines, and the husband and wife settle in for the next six weeks of nesting, incubation, and hatching of new babies. Unlike most folks … (0 comments)

ATTRACTING BIRDS TO YOUR GARDEN It seems that in discussing the process of attracting nature to your yard, the first thing to consider is not how but why?

Mitchell was speaking to the response of your spirit to the natural sanctuary you can create around your home. In order to make the most of our natural surroundings, we should recognize the greater … (2 comments)
