Lost In The Woods? Don't Use This!

Have you heard this...
Moss grows on the NORTH SIDE of a tree so if you are lost you know where north is.

Here is some really good moss growing on a tree at House In The Wood.

Tree right outside the office.

And OOPS...it is actually growing on the EAST side of the tree trunk.

Sooo...find north using a DIFFERENT method like the north star or the sun that rises in the east and sets in the west.

HA! Squirrel-Proof Feeders

This is who is suppose to be on this feeder...
The White Breasted Nuthatch visits a lot.
 And this who else visits...
Say what! I call these my "Furry Birds"

Our Hidden Neighbors

It's not until the leaves drop that you REALLY know who has been living next door to you. Take a look at who I found...
Bird Nest-one of the marsh birds in a bush. It is made of grasses.

Bird Nest in a tree branch-maybe a ROBIN, they use mud.

Known as a Dray--this is a Squirrels nest. So many of them!

Another Squirrel nest--you can tell because they use leaves in their nest.

Another bird nest in a bush--this one made of twigs.
