Bats both fascinate and kind of creep me out so I admit that I’m probably too much of a pansy to go to this nighttime program at Jefferson Memorial Forest. You should totally go though and tell me all about it.

Gardening and feeding the birds are two areas in which I do not excel. Luckily B takes care of all that. That’s why I’m really sad this event is happening on a Monday when she won’t be able to attend. I know she would just love hearing this guy present on developing our yard with [...]

I’m totally ok with confessing to you that I’m one of those crazy dog people who really enjoys activities with my dog.
