Snake Spotting On A Recent Walk

A genuine snake in the grass. I'm not afraid of them and like the fact that they eat mice. I'm terrified of the latter.

Summer House or Greenhouse from Reclaimed Parts

I love this small outbuilding made from salvaged architectural parts. My geraniums would love living there for the winter. It's being constructed by this clever blogger.

Wild Turkey Spotting At The Cottage



I was loading the dishwasher just now and spotted a family of wild turkeys out for a walk in the tall grass toward the rear of my property. A mother, father, and two youngsters that have gotten really big since the last time I saw them. Pretty soon there will be lots of acorns down there for them to eat. They never fail to thrill me when I see them. Such big birds!
