Forget The Nets - Maggies Got the Camera! Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Forget The Nets - Maggie's Got the Camera! While the boys enthusiastically hunt with their butterfly nets, Maggie opts for my new camera. Today I will share some of the photos she has taken in the last 2 weeks. Actually a few of these might be my shots - occasionally I get to use. Our new camera as well. Chipmunks were everywhere at Jenning Environmental Education Center. Brothers can be nature too!

Chickens. Birthday Chickens, That Is! Extreme Makeover - Ostrich Style! Monday, July 29, 2013. Chickens. Birthday Chickens, That Is! We went to a nearby farm, JC Poultry. To pick up our chickens! I chose this farm for several reasons:. The owner chooses breeds that can handle Pennsylvania's climate. She sells chickens that are family friendly and gentle. Her chickens are fully feathered and old enough to go straight in the coop. She has unusual, hardy, and good egg laying, breeds. They were so very cute!

The Great Johnstown Flood. Sunday, August 3, 2014. The Great Johnstown Flood. I feel like I should reintroduce myself, since it has been so long since I wrote anything on my little blog. But, I'll skip that for now! Jamestown Flood Museum. This was the original Carnegie Library - Andrew Carnegie later donated libraries to towns all over the United States. We aren't living in Pennsylvania anymore - we are back home in Texas! We learned about so much more than just the flood! There is much more to Johnstow...

When Dad and I were surfing the web for informatio. The Search Continues: Kinzua Dam and the Allegheny. The Search for Fall Color: Revisiting Kinzua Bridg. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. The first one we tried was Rimrock Overlook Trail. AMAZING! I love it when our plans turn out to be just as incredible as we hoped! There are lots and lots of stairs. But the view was worth every step down! This is Kinzua Lake (also known as Allegheny Reservoir). Another tourist snapped a photo of our family. Kinzua Dam is...

Just Fluff and Beaks. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Just Fluff and Beaks. She's perched on the edge instead of being cuddled into the nest. Maggie noticed some different behavior from our Phoebe yesterday – she was perching on the edge of the nest instead of settling into the nest. She noted at least two tiny heads peeking up as well. At the right of the nest is a tiny yellow beak. Oh, and I was in a hurry – hoping not to scare the Mama too much. Look at that open beak! Isn't the nest snug and soft inside?

Of Soil and Seeds. Friday, January 30, 2015. Of Soil and Seeds. I have had more gardening failures than successes, and once again,. I find myself perusing seed catalogs, researching companion planting, and digging through the county extension office’s gardening webpage. Sometimes I wonder why I keep trying, but it seems I cannot resist the gardening urge. Employees and chatted with local gardeners in the grocery line. I tell myself “One of these days, I WILL be a Gardener! What I did right:. I kept weeds...

Tomorrow I am submitting a Wildlife Management P. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Eastern Phoebe eggs in the nest on our front porch. Eastern Phoebe Fledglings. The one in front has attitude! This one is difficult to see, but right in the middle of this photo is a Cottontail Rabbit. Coming in for a landing at the feeder. We haven't identified this frog yet. But this photo and the one above gives a clear picture of the different body shapes between frogs and toads. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). These comm...

Keva Firecracker = BOOM! Thursday, March 1, 2012. Keva Firecracker = BOOM! Just a simple building. We really like Keva Planks. In this house. Kevas are American made, hardwood planks that can be stacked a number of ways. They are excellent for teaching small motor control, balance, and patience (both in building and toward your little brother when he knocks down your patiently built structure). Oh no - is that smoke pouring from the building? It fell piece by piece but nothing flew up into the air. Wedne...
