Welcome to My Blog!
This blog is where I’ll share what I’m seeing in our yard, in the gardens, and around our small lake—anything related to birds and gardening. I’d love to hear from you as well! Whether you’re observing something interesting or have a bird-related question, feel free to reach out. I don’t follow a strict blogging schedule, but I typically post every 4 to 7 days—sometimes more often. Let’s enjoy learning about birds together.

This cold weather will begin tonight with a nighttime low of 1 degree. Our lake has large-mouthed bass, bluegill, and crappie. Plus lots […]

It snowed!
Looking out our windows, I feel like a child again in Pennsylvania. Except I will be enjoying all this snow from inside our house and not outside playing all day with my next door neighbor Chip. Building snow forts, snowmen, and shoveling driveways and sidewalks for $5 – to be split between us. Those were […]
