Enjoying Scotch and Cigars with @FireRenaissance, @FromGreenhills, and @GGGenge
It is warm today. Bright sunshine. Buds on the maples and elms. Crocus are pushing their little yellow and purple noses up through garden soils. Chickadees and grackles, bluejays and cardinals flock to our birdfeeders. Squirrels and chipmunks race along the ground for falling seed and suet.

Vernod Dines Alone
We are so blessed.
Almost every night and often during the day friends come to our table. In the backyard. On the ground. Makes after-dinner clean up so much easier.

Steve Searls “A Little Chit-Chat”
If you haven’t read A Little Chit-Chat then stop reading this, click the link, and take the time to have a slow, luxurious read.

Terry Melia’s “Tales from the Greenhills”

New Year’s Turkeys (2020)
What do you do with a backyard of glorious birds?
You wish them well in the New Year.
It’s a human-decreed new year, not a natural one.
Then again, most human-decreed western cultural holidays for the past 2,000+ years have not followed nature’s timelines.… Read the rest
