Redefining the Beauty of Nature and Wildlife in Our Gardens
I was out and about on Sunday, cleaning up after the dogs and looking for wildlife of interest. January is not always the best time of year to find things, but Florida has experienced a relatively warm winter and spring is in the air so we have our fair share of resident wildlife meandering around….

I could not have guessed how timely this post would turn out to be. I thought, I’ll get a head start promoting the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). After all we want to see more birds in the garden. But who would have guessed that while I was gazing out my window this past gray… [Continue Reading]
[Guest post by Jan Bills] “For me the only things of interests are those linked to the heart” ~Audrey Hepburn When I read the email from Carole asking if I would like to write a guest post for her highly regarded, well-respected website, I nearly dropped my teeth!

Now that we are deep in January’s cold grip I wonder how my critters are doing…in particular the toads. This has not been a normal January with frigid temps and lots of snow and ice. We have had very little snow with variable temps reminiscent of early March days. The American Toad (Bufo americanus) is… [Continue Reading]
Imagine going on a (virtual) tour of some amazing wildlife gardens from around the world.
