Rebirthing the Blog

It’s time to restart the blog as semi-regular posts in between Newsletter Editions and Newsfeeds. This simpler view will give me more incentive to just concentrate on sharing without the overhead social media.

My new friend seems like an Anna’s Hummingbird and is aggressively defending the feeder even though there is plenty for all. An exploration, no doubt, that will continue when my R5 comes in.
