I’m so happy it’s March!! Though I celebrate the true start of spring come March 20th (the astronomical observation), at this point in the winter, I happily welcome meteorological spring today! Anything to keep my mind busy with until I can plunge my hands back into the soil. Until then, here’s a little March lore to kick off the month.

I always loved birds, but I really only started truly watching and documenting them for the past 15 years. Over that time, I’ve been able to photograph 85 different species of birds right here on our property. But there was one bird that alluded me all these years…the Eastern Bluebird.

Radishes have this stellar reputation of being one of the easiest veggies to grow, and they can be. But, they can also be a little bugger who never bulbs (overcrowding & weather are often factors). But I cannot fathom my garden without these cheery, cute orbs.
