Summer is Over

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Tuesday September 01, 2009   -   By Emily

Improper Accommodations?

Blog: Bed, Breakfast & A Pinch of Natural Bliss   -   Thursday May 07, 2009   -   By Donna

On my usual morning garden stroll, with Quincy (our Labrador),  I check the herb beds for sprouting  and the bird feeders to be sure they are full of seed.  We have a lovely array of birds that visit and count on us for food, so we don't want to...

Blog: Dutch Hollow Acres   -   Tuesday April 28, 2009   -   By lklik

Bird Watching

Blog: Bloom Where You're Planted Farm   -   Tuesday January 20, 2009   -   By Teresa

It's almost creepy, the amount of birds that are around our yard this time of year.  The grass and flowerbeds this morning were absolutely teeming with Yellow Finches, Dark-Eyed Juncos (a.k.a. snowbirds), Cardinals and sparrows.  At the same time...
