He Finally Showed Up This Morning, All the Way from the Gulf of Mexico

Each year, thousands of Hummingbirds fly over the open water of the Gulf of Mexico rather than follow the longer shoreline route. They are known to fly non-stop up to 500 miles to reach U.S. shores. I always look forward to seeing my yard filled with Hummingbirds drinking from the feeders that I... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a Strange Mexican Meal, but it's Popular in Pennsylvania Dutch Country

Quesadillas can be stuffed with just about anything your heart desires, just so long as you add the cheese to seal the deal. In the heart of Dutch country, scrapple is the favored breakfast meat choice next to bacon, sausage, or ham steaks. Here is a bit of Mexican cuisine mingling with a... Sign in to see full entry.

These Lovely Little Visitors are a Welcome Sight in My Yard Every Year

They have officially arrived in western Pennsylvania after a long flight, so I do not want to disappoint them by having an empty buffet. These guys are my absolute favorites and I take care to make sure that they return every year. I put out fresh feeders that have been filled with my homemade sugar... Sign in to see full entry.

A Development Gone Bad

Sitting quietly just a few miles from Pittsburgh, nestled in the backyard of one middle-class housing development in Forest Hills, Pennsylvania is the abandoned Westinghouse Atom Smasher. Towering 65 feet in the air, it was part of a complex operation performed by the Westinghouse Electric...

Due to Hectic Schedules, Lazy is the Latest Craze When It Comes to Dinner

Homemade enchiladas are expensive and they are time-consuming to make. I love Mexican food and this three-ingredient meal is perfect for a quick-fix semi-homemade meal after a long day. Just take a box of frozen beef or chicken taquitos, one can of enchilada sauce, and a bag of Mexican blend... Sign in to see full entry.

We decided to dig our bicycles out, air up the tires, WD-40 the chains, and take them for a run around our small town. All in all, John and I rode the bikes for roughly two miles. My legs are feeling a little bit of pain, so I can only guess what tomorrow will bring when I attempt to get out of bed. Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Feeling Thankful Today

Last night's freezing temperatures threatened to annihilate any living bloom that Spring re-introduced to my yard this year. I was concerned about my beautiful red Japanese Maple tree that was affected last year by a late frost. My lilies, iris, hostas, and tulips are still in the midst of growing...
