There goes the hummingbird feeder …
Hubby and I were just about to crawl in bed last night, but we kept hearing a strange sound outside. It wasn’t the snow falling off the roof. It sounded more like an animal somehow messing with the…
Love hopes.
Several years ago hubby and I got a Grand Fir sapling for our forest. It seemed to us to be a “specialty tree” since all the other trees growing in our forest were Cedars, Western Hemlocks (which were…
Love is not self-seeking.

A pest nest
A pest nest took up residence in one of the apple trees in early July. I noticed it, but my life was way too crazy at the time to do anything about it. Besides, it was just a…
It might not be perfect, but it’s absolutely perfect!
Early morning sunshine blessing – the calm reflection of the forest in the birdbath. Granted, this birdbath isn’t perfect (like fancy schmancy birdbaths you can buy at fancy schmancy garden nurseries). But regardless of its supposed “imperfection”, this…
