I’m monkeying around with servers and content management systems so it’s possible nay quite probably that things look wonky at the moment around these parts.

Forest Fest at Jefferson Memorial Forest May 16, 2009

I told you about this last month but I don’t want you to miss out if it is of interest to you so I’m telling you again.
Jefferson Memorial Forest’s annual free bluegrass concert (though
parking is $5 per carload) is Saturday May 16, 2009. Like last year’s
show the lineup is impressive both musically and they’ll [...]

Bats(!) at Jefferson Memorial Forest May 8, 2009

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.
A creature stalks Louisville in the darkness, swiftly swooping in on
hundreds of victims each night.  [...]

Gardening for the Birds with Thomas G. Barnes at Jefferson Memorial

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 [...]

Howl at the Moon at Jefferson Memorial Forest, April 2009 Edition

I’m totally ok with confessing to you that I’m one of those crazy dog people who really enjoys activities with my dog. Though she’s a small dog she has big spirit and absolutely loves our hiking trips to Jefferson Memorial. Well ok she enjoys our “hiking trips” to Joe Creason park as well but whatever. [...]

Birding Expedition at Iroquis Park Saturday March 28, 2009

I need to go to this event because our backyard is like a bird sanctuary despite the fact that my little dog chases them off nearly every day. Tons of birds hang out in our yard and I can’t name a single one other than the cardinals. I just don’t know my bird names people, [...]
