  • Winter’s return plays havoc with...

    The grass is green, flowers are blooming and the birds are chirping. Those are typically signs of spring. But not here. Not this year.

  • From the sounds of it, squirrels...

    During the past week, two different people requested information about the “baby” squirrels they have been seeing in their yard. From their description, I believe they have been seeing western red squirrels.
