Early autumn finds a curious fawn enjoying a field of Fool’s parsley.

The hummingbird has been gone for weeks now.  

It will be at least seven months before the Midwest experiences it’s diminutive beauty again.

My rooster Tom Bombadil got into a fight last night, raccoon or possum, not sure which... but he lived and he won!! Just lost a few feathers. All my hens are safe thanks to this brave boy.

Bright red his wattle is and his eyes are yellow

Old Tom Bombadil is a brave fellow!

Strong be his love for hens and his mighty bellow!
