The fruit of your labor

This week I was blessed with two figs on my bonsai tree. They have been on the tree now for some time and I have been waiting for them to be ready to eat. Today was that day! The figs were nice, firm and very sweet. I was just lucky to get to the fruit before the birds did. Besides eating… Continue reading The fruit of your labor

Shanna has been looking for a new computer… Continue reading Bear River Refuge – Feb 1 2020
