And now it seems just like that, we are coming into fall, which happens to be my favorite time of the year, especially here in New Hampshire. The oppressing heat is gone, the cooler weather is coming in, which means sweaters and long drives to look at the foliage, plus nearly my own recipe book full of favorite soups and other dishes where I can actually put the oven on to cook a meal. 

As most people know, the Polar Bear is the largest bear in the world. It also happens to be the Arctic’s top predator, spending 50% of their time hunting for food, consisting mostly of ringed and bearded seals.

Is it really that time again, already? And by 'that time' of course I mean summer. Well, officially not but unofficially we just had Memorial Day and the weather certainly has been heating up. And with it, all the birds are back and the nesting is in full swing! 

To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

During a recent early spring Nor'easter in my state, we were visited by more birds than I could count at one time. The two feet of snow covered the ground that, just days before, the many birds, several who were just returning to the area, found bugs that were just emerging, along with the daffodils, crocus, and other spring flowers.
