Oh yes! We’re suburban hillbillies and we’re proud! So what do you do when it’s 95 degrees out and you don’t have a real pool and the closest community pool is 30 minutes away? You make do with what you have. We get this guy out and give him a good scrub. Do you have [...]

See this bird’s nest? It used to hold the prettiest wooden eggs that I painstakenly painted and speckled with my own little hands. See this birdhouse? It was sitting on the shelf directly below the bird’s nest. Note that there is only one point of entry or exit from the bird house. See this little [...]
