This evening, I spoke to the Marshall County Soil and Water Conservation District Awards Banquet. That's an easy assignment. They are tree planting people, so I talked about trees and got a good meal out of the deal at the American Legion in Warren.

Another contributor: I had been dreading the winter, and I finally decided to do something about it. I looked online for places to stay in Tucson.

Meet the garden club equivalent of the 1927 Yankees, the Beltrami Garden Club, which celebrated their 50th anniversary at the Beltrami Mall Cafe today. Here is the entire club, with the exeption of Stella.

A new bird showed up at the feeder yesterday. It took until this morning before I caught him with the camera. The red-breasted nuthatch is smaller than the common nuthatch and has a cute little nasal buzz for a call.

Redbellied woodpecker
