While it seems impossible that we are celebrating the month of March 2025 already, clearly the Earth Mother is awakening all the green folks who have been hibernating all winter. Joshua happened to capture a few of our offerings that were dotted with rain.
Mr. Peeking Cardinal. Our first Hellies. And a Getting-to-Know-You standoff between Fiona and a pitiful little pumpkin-headed Jasper wondering about coming inside . . .
With precipitation as shy as we are experiencing, we relish every morsel, drop and flake. Well, perhaps some of us relish that outside moisture more than others, ergo Miss Fiona and Braveheart Primo prefer the fainting couch snooze arena.
Some familiar faces and some long-time-no-see faces visited recently. Our daily visitors include the raccoons in the neighborhood and our subletter, Jasper, who has taken up housekeeping in the honey shack.
December always proves to be full of surprises inside and out. The 4 raccoon siblings are all grown up now and resplendent in their winter coats plus they appear plump and healthy.
Animal, Vegetable, Mineral – blessings one and all. With a glut this week of the ALL-TIME SWEETEST yellow peppers on the planet, we jumped at the chance to use them in as many ways as we could imagine.
In a not-so prolific flowering season, these guys are making up for lost time.
Would that we humans could get along and accept each other’s differences, right? In all our years we have never seen anyone but pigs socialize with pigs and here these youngsters seem just fine. Is there a lesson somewhere there? P.S. and a side order of skunk.
After a relatively UNremarkable blooming season earlier this year, this afore taste of autumn in collusion with the supermoon offered up a plethora of wonderment in dahlias, lilies, our spider person, virginiannas, critters big and small, and finned fantastics to name a few.
Our treasured anemone virginianas have finally given us something to gawk at when we are done absolutely marveling at the intricacy and weaving ability of this spider that google tells us is a common house spider!
