lol, sort of. i would classify myself as a loner. I live in a fairly secluded area. on a private road surrounded by woods.

Thanks. The bird and praying mantis where from last spring. it's still kind of wintery here. the nest was baby robins and the one in my hand was a wren. it was the runt and got booted out of the nest. the pond I dug by hand. it's 16' x 22' and about 5 1/2' deep. Home to about 100 koi and Shebunkins. Snakes, turtles and countless frogs. you can see the snake is eating one of the baby fish.

there are about 35 deer on the property. the one in the picture eats out of my hand

oh a really cool thing. see those wood chips in the last picture? well they aren't woodchips. they are recycled tires. I was having a trailer load of mulch delivered every year. 4 years ago i went with the recycled tires. They will probably last for about 15 - 20 yrs. They cost only slightly more that what a load of mulch was costing me. so the payback is great. Plus it was enviromentally friendly and makes use of old tires

They get really big. I'd say the crappy weather and a few late frosts is the culprit this year.
