Look at the Homestead Pond Now!
~~~ Thursday, January 26 ~~~ Remember when the Homestead Pond looked like this last summer? Then, after excavating, it looked like this. Notice the white drainage pipe on the upper right. This is what it looks like now. The fall and winter rains and snow have filled the pond – and the spring – which […]

The Raccoon is Framed and Ready for Delivery
This project started with this photo (above) from our daughter Deb who asked me to stitch it. I picked it up at the framer last week.

Downys at Our Suet
I love watching these pretty birds at our suet. When there is no red spot of feathers on the back of its head, it is a female. I found a few fun facts about Downy Woodpeckers. They are known as a symbol of bravery and hard work. They have special features surrounding their nostrils that […]

A Photogenic Cardinal
~~~ Wednesday, January 11 4:43 pm ~~~ Cardinals can be flighty and rarely welcome my presence at the window, but this one just kept on posing – giving me time to try a few different camera settings. A fun fact about Cardinals: The Northern Cardinal’s name dates back to the time of the United States […]
