Hugging Life

With all of the things going on in the world it is understandable that many people are experiencing greater levels of fear, anxiety, and depression.  Always if things feel out of control, it is critical to muster up any available energy and seek assistance.  If it is not at that level, but still disruptive, it sometimes helps to ground into the nature around you.  It may mean a short hike, a bit of gardening, or hugging a pet.  Take time to experience how life moves along and other things fall away.

Behind-the-Scenes

Can’t get enough river otters?  Neither can we!

Show Cat!

When Uschi-Swirl was a kitten, he went to cat shows.  He certainly is not living that lifestyle now, but occasionally Mark helps him pose for his adoring audience :).  Uschi was diagnosed with both intestinal and pancreatic cancers over a year ago, one month after we lost his younger brother to pancreatic cancer.  We sought assistance from OSU’s Small Animal Veterinary Hospital, and unbelievably his cancers are in check.  So Uschi gets whatever he wants, whenever he wants it.

Forage

We have a small herd of deer and have planted a mix of seeds to support their new fawns.

The seeds in this bowl were the start of this year's wildflower garden that has been supporting pollinators and providing food for a variety of animals.
