2021 05-12, 4947 - CREATING A NEW PATH – Recently, while cleaning up the winter debris in the Enchanted Pathway, my wife decided it was time for a new path. With love she carefully created a little walk that we outlined in red sawdust. Now it is ready for children of all ages.

Even the Ant Hills Are Watching
|
2021 05-11, 4946 - EVEN THE ANT HILLS ARE WATCHING – When one is alone in Nature, it is not uncommon to feel not alone, that something is watching them. That can be fearful for many unfamiliar with the positive aspects of Nature. I was reminded of this by an ant hill that looked like it had eyes.

2021 05-10, 4945 - IT IS A CARDINAL YEAR – We have often admired cardinals, but they seldom visited our feeders until this year when it seems a pair has taken up residency somewhere near enough so they visit in the early morning or evening. It is a wonderful gift from Nature that warms our hearts with gratitude.

So Much for That Tree
|
2021 05-09, 4944 - SO MUCH FOR THAT TREE – I often get a glimpse of them as they fly from tree to tree, after they have given a warning sound by rubbing their legs together, but I seldom catch them long enough to get a good picture. I did capture this one tearing apart an old birch tree. How do they know where the bugs are?

2021 05-08, 4943 - A PEAR TREE IN BLOOM – Our old pear tree is in full bloom. We do not get much edible fruit, but it sure helps us celebrate spring. This year spring is very special as we all find out what it is like to grow in the world again.

Primroses
|
2021 05-07, 4942 - PRIMROSES – This past week the tiny primroses have brought their bright smiles to the landscape. I may transplant some to the Cabin’s and Center’s gardens to share with people passing by. Primroses remind me of people who share their smiles and positive energy.

2021 05-06, 4941 - READY FOR A PICNIC – The antique metal lawn furniture has been taken out of the storage shed and is now in place behind the cabin waiting for a picnic. It is one of our favorite summer activates on a warm evening looking out at the Orchard feeling the incredible energy of Nature.

An Encounter on the Trail
|
2021 05-05, 4940 - AN ENCOUNTER ON THE TRAIL – After spending a couple of hours on trail maintenance, we slowly drove down the Mountain in our side-by-side when a large bird few in front of us, landing on a limb over the trail. It was a barred owl. You never know what you might encounter next in Nature.
