It’s 2021 and we are still in the middle of a pandemic. The good news is that there is nothing stopping me from going outside and wandering around by myself to see what wildlife I can find. Often there are more misses than hits – but I know the only…
Here’s a little victory- when I masked up and stuck my hand out the window of my car to pay the $9.00 fee for the Amherst Island Ferry passage the ferry man said it wasn’t necessary because of covid. Actually he just pointed to his mask and shook his head,…
Well, who do we have here? Actually, it’s one of my neighbours! Hello there and Happy 2021! Bring on the new year! I have to say that being out in nature and finding neat stuff was one of the things that kept me sane during 2020. But – I can’t…
