Funny, very funny!

Mother Nature laughed at me today. She made me pull her finger. She lifted up her great green skirt and mooned me. She is a tricky one and quite the prankster.
I was really busy today setting up for our garage sale so I didn't get a chance to walk around my gardens much. When I was sitting in my dining room trying to relax after a very long day of hard work, I looked out the window and saw not one but TWO BABY GROUNDHOGS completely helping themselves to my garden's bounty. They didn't even have the nerve to run and hide when I took their picture.

This is what it looks like when Mother Nature laughs at you...






But of course she delights me on a daily basis with all she has given me. Singing wrens, pretty blue borage flowers, dainty Scottish Harebells and delicate mushrooms that appeared as if by magic over night. I should feel blessed with all the beauty in my garden. Perhaps I should just adopt these two rascally, orphaned ground squirrels. What do you think, time to get a fence for my veggies?




We cannot command Nature except by obeying her. ~Francis Bacon






To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance. ~Buddha

Middle Creek

I've been going through a very rough patch lately with some deaths in the family. I thought we would go out to Middle Creek Wildlife Area to see the snow geese and get some fresh air. There were thousands there today. I believe they expect well over 50,000. You can't get very close but the sound is amazing. Tundra swans are also there.

Also updated my playlist on the right sidebar this week. There are some great new and old songs on there. If you like it, please let me know! I'm really enjoying the first song, "Furr" by Blitzen Trapper. They just played at a church in Philly, I'm sorry I missed it.
