FOTD - MARCH 29, 2020 - OH THOSE FLOWERS! After a winter of spring, we are now having the springtime of winter. All winter it was warm and now that it is really spring, it's cold, grey, and rainy.

BIRDS, BEES, FLOWERS, POLLEN, AND A VIRUS – Marilyn Armstrong
A Photo a Week Challenge: Changing Seasons It was such a warm winter -- with no snow at all -- that spring is arriving without the usual fanfare. I don't know how well out "outside" flowers are doing because I don't go out.

DEFINITELY OFF OUR FEED – Marilyn Armstrong
The pictures from last night look just like the pictures from the day before. Apparently every night, a conga line of raccoons take over the back deck.

HOW CAN I CATCH A FLYING SQUIRREL? – Marilyn Armstrong
Let me start this by saying I did not take any of these pictures. I don't have the right equipment but hope to get some. In the meantime, these are pictures from various habitat sites. Owen had a friend over today who was quite the expert on flying squirrels. He said not only do we … Continue reading HOW CAN I CATCH A FLYING SQUIRREL? – Marilyn Armstrong
