The Hostess with the Mostest

By |August 24th, 2022|

Cuteness OVERLOAD!

By |August 10th, 2022|

If you have an aversion to saying “ooooh” and “aaaaah” I suggest that you stop reading this post right this minute! We were just commenting that it must have been an unfortunate year for any raccoon family as we hadn’t seen babies yet and lo and behold, look who visited us last evening. . .mama and FIVE babes!

Who could be so Precious?

By |August 6th, 2022|

The elusive Miss Jemima Pearl was caught at ‘her post.’ Our night blooming cereus gave us its ALL yet again and our family of skunks is just beyond belief. The little guy who has puffed himself up can’t be as long as a size 8 ladies’ shoe! He looks like a stuffed toy. . .

We canNOT keep up with Mother Nature

By |April 8th, 2022|

On literally every front, things are simply exploding into bloom and activity with our feeding station offering some new twists and a rousing welcome home to our finned folks who have ‘returned from West Palm Beach (our euphemism for their winter hibernation).’

Answer to Prayers!

By |February 21st, 2022|

For any of you who have visited and are checking in once in a while, I am certain you will be as delirious as we are at seeing this very healthy person overnight. We are surely hoping he or she returns and prospers.

Up and At ’em

By |February 14th, 2022|

It is not even the middle of February and of course the daffies and other spring people are making green motions upward all over the gardens but one brave crowd was The First for 2022 to join the hellies in center stage of winter color.
