We feed grape jelly to the orioles every year. Once in a while, the bees for it and take it over. There was a bunch of them this time.

I grew 5 different Bush Beans just to compare how they each did in our area. I grew them in 10 gallon grow bags, and a GreenStalk planter. I thought it was interesting that they each produced about the same in the GreenStalk planter as they did in the grow bags. Two out of the 5 types didn't do well at all.

There used to be a rookery near where we live. I used to enjoy going by to see how the young birds were doing. This video shows some baby egrets in their nests.

I can't wait to get starting growing things again. In the meantime, I love to look back at how great the garden was when it was in it's prime.

I hope you enjoy listening to me read the Bible. On my other channels, I've heard from quite a few people who would be interested in hearing me read anything. I hope these words reach those people, and others who need to hear them. Thanks for listening. Please subscribe and share with friends and family. God bless! A little about the Book of Matthew in the Bible: Extensive use of Old Testament references. Tracing Jesus’ lineage back to Abraham. Emphasis on Jesus as the “Son of David.” Matthew is divided into seven parts: Chapters 1-3 and 4-7 introduce Jesus as the Messiah and the coming of God’s Kingdom. Chapters 8-10, 11-13, and 14-20 invite people into the Kingdom’s power. Chapters 21-25 and 26-28 conclude with Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection.

I love dwarf tomatoes from the Dwarf Tomato Project. Tasmanian Chocolate is a good one to try.

We put out a little bird seed on the ground in the park to see what would eat it. Lots of birds came to eat, including a pair of Cardinals. There were also lots of other little birds.

We ate our lunch at a local park. Some squirrels helped us eat a few of our fries.

Sleeping Lady is another dwarf tomato from the Dwarf Tomato Project. It was very productive for us, and worth a try in my opinion.

Tasmanian Chocolate Dwarf Tomato is one of many dwarf tomatoes developed by the Dwarf Tomato Project.

We have box turtles that visit our yard once in a while. This isn't the first time that we've caught them eating cat food out of the cat's food dish.

In recent years, I've fallen in love with the Dwarf Tomatoes from the Dwarf Tomato Project. They are a much more manageable size than most indeterminates. Let us know if you've ever grown a dwarf tomato.

Every once in a great while I get aphids on my indoor plants. Occasionally I use Ladybugs to get rid of the aphids. These Ladybugs got busy right away making more Ladybugs.

Since I live so far away from the ocean, I've always been fascinated by saltwater fish. In this video, you will see fish, and get a good view of the underside of a ray swimming by.

In this large saltwater tank, there were fish, Horseshoe Crabs, Starfish, small saltwater fish, and a few lobsters and shrimp. In this video, the Horseshoe Crab cruises around among fish, with a starfish at the end.

I shot this video in super slow motion, and I love the way it turned out. In normal speed, you can't really get a feel for how a butterflies wings work. Hope you enjoy seeing it. Thanks for watching!

Usually Great Blue Herons fly when I get anywhere near them with my car. This one didn't seem to mind me driving along on it's fishing trip though. It caught several small fish and ate them while we watched.

As you might have guessed, I really enjoy observing nature. Watching a flock of ducks feed is a simple pleasure that makes life more enjoyable. These ducks couldn't quite reach their food without standing on their heads.

A compost is like heaven for small toads. It has a continuous supply of flies. Both large flies, and small fruit flies. They miss once in a while, but they get plenty to eat.

Horseshoe Crabs and Slipper Lobsters are both fascinating. The Horseshoe Crab kind of crashed into the Slipper Lobster. The Slipper Lobster was fine though.

Something about slow motion makes everything a little more interesting to look at. In this case, there are butterflies on a rotting banana, and flies on our compost pile. When I disturbed them, they flew away....in slow motion.

We had lots of toads in our yard. Some little ones tried to climb our storm shelter, and some liked to climb to the top or our straw bale garden. They used the drip irrigation to take a shower.

As you might have guessed, I love to observe nature. There are too many things more entertaining to me than watching toads eating flies on a compost pile. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did.
