Long Trail Calls to Me.

My dream of hiking the Long Trail is a long shot.

But with new knees it just might be doable.

So I am taking my PT very Seriously.

Thanks to Marilyn for her help and motivation.

Salamander Surprise

 

Our friend Gary was quite surprised when he saw this.

Up in the cellar she/he came. Yellow spots and all.

So Gary rescued the amphibian and released her/him in the woods.

Gary told me, “My son-in-law said he saw one at a job in Easton last week.

So I asked Gary if any development was going on?

 Good point “there are many developments what I see most around are these giant warehouses they’re building everywhere disturbing a lot of land and cutting down lots of trees…

Kitchen Garden

 Mara picks beans.

And… she finds a Lemon cucumber on the plants eaten by the groundhog.

It was the tastiest cucumber ever.

And there will be the freshest beans for supper!

Turkeys Fly and….

We have had a flock of turkeys at our sanctuary all summer.

Development is taking their food and habitat.

So we have the opportunity to protect and preserve these amazing birds.

And yes, turkeys do fly, and…they climb trees as shown in Marilyn’s video below.

Summers Labor

 

Marilyn’s zucchini Bread.

And Muffins.

From our Kitchen Garden.

Can’t get can’t fresher or better than this.

Fueling Time for Hummingbirds

 Hummingbirds migrate great distances.

That’s why they fuel up this time of year.

Soon they will be traveling up to 500 miles a day. For thousands of miles.

So clean and fill your feeders. The hummingbirds will appreciate your effort!

New Knee

Things are bit quiet at e-Awakening.com. Dan just got a new knee. He was unable to walk or stand for very long.

So Marilyn is taking care of our feathered and furry friends at the Wild Life Sanctuary…and she is taking care of Dan too!

In the meanwhile preserve and protect nature!

And take a cruise around our website.

Groundhog is winning!

Marilyn captured the baby groundhog getting at the lemon cucumber plants in this iPhone video.

 

We eliminated the hard fence which the groundhog was getting under.

And we wrapped the top piece of chicken wire so it was snug but floppy.

 

Now we are adding a few stakes to keep it flopping out instead of in.

But we concede to Mr. Groundhog with all due respect and challenge him/her to a duel over next years crop of lemon Cucumbers. This years leaves are pretty much devoured.

Gentle farmers Farm and Wildlife Sanctuary

Everyone needs to eat.

Even baby Groundhogs!

But we don't want them eating our cucumber plants which they love with a passion.

So we build our fence bigger and bigger till it is big enough.

Preserving and protecting Nature is protecting all the plants, animals, insects, birds, aquatic life, and humans too! The whole Earth. It doesn't work unless it works together.

Here is a brief video from Dan and Marilyn. Dan on camera and Marilyn as videographer extraordinaire.

 

Art at an Early Age

 Above the mantel hangs,

A paint by number smeared.

Outside the lines it blurred like the Artist's early years.

The oil waiting to dry made the painting something other.

It created a kind of pride in a boy who was special…to his beloved Grandmother! 

Thanks for believing in me Nana...

Angel Mushroom

 Outside our Angel "Sanctuary Room".

Looking through our picture window on Nature.

At the old pine tree that the woodpeckers just love to pieces.

                        

A mushroom grew!

 

Who's to say it isn't an Angel looking over the Wildlife we so want to protect and preserve.

Sure looks like an Angel. Look at the detail.

Love Nature!

Writing Songs

Writing Songs is Easy.

Getting anyone to hear them is the hard part.

Especially when you write the songs no one wants to hear. Like Hey Greta. Here are the words to the latest song I am working on.

What the world needs is a good cry. What we continue to do to the Earth is a Shame!
