Off They Go…
John and his friend Phil left, this morning, on a week-long tour of the South via motorcycle. So it’s just me, three cats, and an empty house this week. There are a million things I could be … should be … doing, but I have no clue where to start. *sigh* I think this is [...]
Raccoons in the Feeders: Part II
Raccoons strike again. They love the nectar that I put in my hummingbird feeders. When I use the ceramic feeders, they tear the corks up and drink the nectar out.

How My Garden Grows
My first attempt at a garden is doing pretty well. My tomato plants are almost 4-ft high and have produced two green tomatoes so far (still on the vine). The cucumber plants have flowered and I’m expecting to see cucumbers any time. Several of the peppers have flowered, but I’m not seeing [...]
