    Swarm catchers

    Greg and I knew that swarms rarely linger longer than 24 hours, and we did not really know how long this one had been there, so we knew that it was important to get right to work.

    Survival of the 'road toads'
    I inched the car forward, dodging toads, going from one side of the road to the other, and sometimes having to straddle several of the diminutive creatures.

    Day well done
    We sat on the porch swing and watched the rooster lead his flock back down to the chicken coop. It looks as though this rooster has lived to welcome in another day with his morning calls. I wondered, perhaps tomorrow he would leave us alone.

    The watchdog
    I could see the rabbits lazily stretching out across their cages. I watched as the goats ambled contentedly across their yard, nibbling on the hay that Greg had given them just before dinner.

    Springtime delight
    Spring is the time for new life. Over the past two weeks, I have set out 24 styrofoam trays in our two float beds. By my reckoning, I have started about 4,472 herb and vegetable seeds.

    Then there were three
    The newcomer stopped and sniffed at every creek smell. The other two ran ahead, looking curiously back at her. It all seemed so amazing to this third dog, who for the first time was exploring our familiar world.

    No place like home
    We just returned home from a wonderful trip west to visit two of our young’uns, one who lives in the middle of the desert and the other on the West Coast. The trip was perfect and the time spent with our children could not have been more special, but as I fell into bed after a long day of traveling, I could not help but think how good it felt to be back home.

    Tumbleweeds
    I was determined to take a picture of this particular tumbleweed. I set it down on the ground and stood back. It rolled away. I followed it and picked it up again.
