Deer at Night

We live in the country and are well aware of the wildlife on the roads at night.
For all the years we have lived here, we have been pretty lucky.

What a Surprise!

I had such a great surprise the other afternoon.
We were swimming at the lake about 5:30 in the afternoon.

It has been a couple of years since we had a vegetable garden - [...]

The Amazing Giant Octopus

I must admit that I am not a big fan of the Octopus, in fact, they actually give me the creeps with all those suction cups and that beak of a mouth.
Not to mention all those moving arms and that shapeless body.
Nope, not a fan at all.
But I have to admit that they are quite [...]

Ants and Termites

Once again we watched the Nature show on PBS this past week.
This episode was about the Moment of Impact which featured many animals and their various means of defense and attack.
Much of the film was put into slow motion and with today’s technology we were able to see how the animals reacted and how they [...]
