Another quiet summer week on the ranch. We took a leisurely woods walk Saturday afternoon and a quick stroll through a park on Sunday morning. Shane did some great work on mom's 'bird tree' over the weekend too. Enjoy! Amy

Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day weekend! Hard to believe our nation is 250 years old! Shane and I took it easy and did our woods walk that afternoon. It's been a week of running around so it was nice just kicking back, watching birds, and enjoying nature. Enjoy! Amy

This past week went from the 90s early on to the 60s and rain by the weekend. I spent a good deal of time in the heat working on my new planting guide, but Shane and I enjoyed a woods walk and birding Saturday morning with the arrival of cooler temperatures. Later that morning we took a peaceful trip up the river, completely unaware of the drama unfolding back home. We returned to a full-blown Tornado Warning! Everyone is safe, but it was quite a scare. Dive into this week's updates below! Enjoy! Amy

This week was less eventful than last week! This is a much larger blog this time though! Shane made something for my mother, we did some birding, Shane did some fishing, and we went on a woods walk of course! LOTS of photos! Enjoy! Amy
