RIBBET!
Lookie what we spotted in the garden. Never, in our 25 years, seen the likes of a frog, er toad, here before. It’s certainly a long way from the stream in the Arroyo Seco.
SPLENDOR FROM GRASS
In winter, when surplus greens are scarce, we supplement our backyard poultry’s diet with wheatgrass.

Our modern, convenient eating habits are no longer defined by season and place. Food routes and patterns are forgotten, thanks to the advent of supermarkets.
FALLING FROM OCTOBER SKY
For the past 3 days there’s been wet stuff falling from the sky! Yep, tis raining! Quite a dramatic change in that it’s 40 degrees COOLER than it was just last week!
