Yesterday was a bright, sunny day, so I went to Narbeck Wetland Preserve to see who was about. As usual with the birds there, I could hear them, but not see them. There were the usual Dark-eyed Juncos, two kinds of chickadees, and a Bewick’s Wren. I did, however, spot a male mallard duck, way …
Last week, we were in Hillsdale, Michigan, in the south central part of the state. It is a relatively poor region, with no big cities, mostly small to medium-sized towns. Allen, along US12, is a center of antiques, with many dealers along the highway. I never tired of the drive from Hillsdale to Coldwater, where …
We are in south central Michigan this week for a Hillsdale College conference. The high temperature so far has been 23F. Until today, I hadn’t seen many birds at all, but when I looked out the window at breakfast this morning, I saw my first Northern Cardinal. Cardinal on branch I think I am lucky …

Last week we had a wind and rainstorm, and I saw photos posted by a weather guy, of Snoqualmie Falls in flood conditions. So, since this afternoon was sunny, we drove up to see what we could see. Snoqualmie Falls in full flood This is just the top of the falls. All that water falling …
I feared that the recent winds would have brought down all the colorful leaves from the trees around here. But, happily, I was wrong! Yesterday I took a short walk around my house and found some bright colors still hanging around (literally!). Let’s start with our own backyard. We have three Japanese maple trees, which …

Neither hubby nor I had ever been to the Carolinas, so when we received an invitation to a Hillsdale College Economic Forum in Charlotte, I jumped at the chance to visit. What clinched it was the fact that one of the speakers would be the young database guru who goes by the X handle of …
