Spring continues on apace. Our phoebes are back for another season of house building and egg laying and baby raising. It is a yearly adventure that we very much look forward to each April.

Mentor by Jim Bondy 2/19/2010 5:25:09 PM
Become a mentor. Where would you be if no one ever helped you out? I would never be so arrogant as to say that I just learned everything in life on my own. Someone shared with us, a great deal of what we learned throughout our lives. Don’t break ... more

Where Have All The Blue Jays Gone? by Judith Lawrence 2/13/2010 6:39:10 AM
During most winters where I live in Central Ontario Canada, we have an abundance of birds that come to our garden to be fed. We have one feeder filled with seeds and another that holds a suet cake. Woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches feed on the ... more

Snow Emergency by Judith Lawrence 12/13/2009 5:47:06 AM
Four feet of snow fell on us in the space of 36 hours. Truth is, the snow is still falling though not with the same pace as it was. Muskoka, where I live, is a winter playground and we are used to snow and lots of it, but not this much in so short a ... more
