A Warrior at Rest...
Some of you may remember that I have written about our Cooper’s hawk before and may even recollect that I have a picture of him dancing. Admittedly, it wasn’t much of a dance, but then, a lot of people are coming up somewhat short in that department, including myself. He drops in regularly! Like us,... Sign in to see full entry.

Red Squirrels – a Kabu Special...
When Kabu landed on our shores, it was Australia ’s loss and Canada ’s gain, quite apart from Wiley’s, who still thinks he’s dreaming, probably. But it was also the squirrels’ gain, because our Aussie has developed an unconditional love for these critters. The rest of us? At best we regard them as... Sign in to see full entry.

Naut’s Stir Fry Surprise...
I love stir fry for several reasons: it’s quick, it’s healthy and you can vary things easily. Basically you can chuck in whatever you have handy, although I do have a few basic rules. Rule # 1: I never use olive oil, but stick with peanut oil. I use olive oil for western food, and since stir fry is... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mosquitos Are Out...
We’re having a heat wave here in southern Ontario! The snow is melting rapidly, and I had been thinking of possibly going to the beach, or at least go for a bike ride. The problem is that with the warm weather we also get mosquitos, and they tend to get rather big in these parts. One of them landed... Sign in to see full entry.

Naut is shocked!
As those of you who have read me for a while now know, I may be opinionated, but I am not easily shocked. However, when I opened today’s Maclean’s Magazine, (Jan 14, 2008) North America ’s best news magazine, (and no, I don’t own shares in that publication) I was shocked when I read Mark Steyn’s...

Just for Kabu, the Canadian 'Roo...
I know Wiley is doing his very best to make Kabu feel at home in this strange country, for example by teaching her how to use the snow plough, a skill she has been practising for weeks on end now. But he has also fed her some tall tales, for instance about the snow snake, and the poor lady even... Sign in to see full entry.

A Thief Caught in the Act...
Kabu wrote about the pleasure of seeing her first black squirrel recently, so I thought I’d show our Aussie lady one of mine. As luck would have it, I caught one them in the act of raiding the ‘squirrel-proof’ (hahahahaha) bird feeder we acquired last year, and which no bird would touch for a long...
