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.

Our neighbors across our small inlet are getting a new roof and what you are hearing is all the hammering. Their roof was badly damaged during that awful storm we had earlier this summer – the one I blogged about. They were very fortunate in that the the big oak that came down got caught […]
