Our airboat ride with Captain Jesse! Somewhere he picked up an Aussie accent. Turn up the volume. You might have to cover your ears!
I haven't fed the birds in winter for several years. I decided to get back to it this year. I used to make suet with Jesse when he was little, and he gave it out as Christmas gifts. Reminiscing a little as I make the suet 🥰

We welcomed around 200 adults and children over our 4 Monarch Festival events. Thanks to all who attended and shared in the excitement of the annual monarch migration!
Many monarchs were tagged and released by Amira Kel Provost, the @themonarchmatriarch. So many kids had the magical experience of holding and releasing them.
The monarchs continue to need our help by planting their host plant, milkweed, and fall blooming nectar plants like goldenrod, asters, ironweed, and liatris. We have Swamp Milkweed, Asclepias incarnata, available for free on our Farm Stand porch.
This dresser was in the back of a truck, getting ready to be tossed at the dump! What a perfect upgrade to our dress up area. I found the mirror at the Treasure House, too.
