Eastern Bluebird – May 2021
When the male Eastern Bluebird takes flight and the sunlight illuminates his feathers, it is truly the most beautiful creation in my yard. Genesis 1:21 says, in part, "...So God created...every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." We began...
May Has Arrived – May 03, 2021
While April has made its exit from the garden stage, the month of May is once again gracing us with its presence and promise of what lies ahead. The iris will soon be a memory and the sweet william will hopefully have a better year in 2022. (Did I tell you I bought...
Winding Down
