Life and Death

The robins that were nesting on our porch are no more. Leigh found the last of the babies in the grass, still barely alive. She fixed it a box with some warm water in ziplocks. She crushed up earthworms to feed it (yeah she’s awesome). But by the time I got home yesterday the little [...]

Weirdness and Good Food

Well day one of my assignment in St. Gabe is going well. The gentleman that’s the representative on site has done a tremendous job of having everything centrally located. The site itself, a building that’s been here since ’91 but that’s been sitting largely vacant for two months or more in the Louisiana warmth and [...]
