I enjoy looking back at what our garden looked like while I'm trying to imagine what it will look like this year. I can't wait to get started.

This beautiful male Betta was beautiful in regular speed, but it's mesmerizing when you look at it in slow motion. I've been interested and fascinated with Betta fish for decades. I've even bred them in the past.

On a visit to a butterfly enclosure, we had butterflies eating out of our hands, and some of them even landed on us.

Each year I try to make a list of the things I want to grow. In this video, I'll show you what is on that list so far. The list can always change as we get closer to planting time.

Seychelles Pole Beans are very productive. They are also a very attractive bean. The pods are much smoother looking than most pole beans.

I've seen ducks and geese do this before. I would like to know what is going on in those little duck brains when they do this. This duck wasn't anywhere near water, and was in the middle of a parking lot.

Today, I'll be reading from Matthew Chapter 3. I hope this reaches those who need to hear it. 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.

Never approach a venomous snake. I remained at a very safe distance throughout this video. In the video I will explain how I took the close up.

We get flocks of geese around here that number in the tens of thousands. I'm not sure how many thousand were in this flock, but it was a bunch. They came in and started to land, but after some of them were already on the ground, they flew off again.

The Grand Canyon is amazing to look at in person. Then when you think about the fact that it was carved out by water, it kind of blows your mind.

I hope that this audio of Matthew chapter 2 reaches someone who needs to hear it. A little about the Book of Matthew in the Bible: Extensive use of Old Testament references.

I can't believe where this Canada Goose built her next. Sometimes when you see something, it makes you shake your head. That is what happened this time. I had to shake my head and laugh out loud.

I've been told that my voice is easy to listen to. I thought it was time to try to use it for a good purpose. A little about the Book of Matthew in the Bible: Extensive use of Old Testament references. Tracing Jesus’ lineage back to Abraham.

Never approach a venomous snake. If you aren't 100% sure if it's venomous, treat it like it is. I've been around reptiles all my life. In that time, I've learned to identify the dangerous ones. Sometimes the smaller Rattlesnakes can be more dangerous than the large ones. That is because they haven't learned how to control how much venom the inject. They use it all every time.

China Jade Cucumbers are my favorite cucumbers to grow. They get over a foot long, but when picked before the bottom starts to widen, they are still very crispy and delicious.

We visited the Butterfly Palace in Branson, Missouri. We really enjoyed seeing the butterflies and feeding them with nectar from an artificial flower.

The simple things in nature can be fascinating when you take the time to stop and observe. The sounds of the baby birds is something that I heard when I was out in the garden.

I love it when I get a chance to see something unique or rare in nature. I felt fortunate when we sighted two piebald Brown-headed Cowbirds in one day. In the video, I will freeze the frame so you can easily see the piebald ones. Let us know if you've ever seen a piebald animal of any kind. Thanks for watching!

I've always been fascinated with carnivorous plants. Venus Fly Traps are just cool! I found a cricket in our yard, and I fed it to my Venus Fly Trap. It didn't take long either.

I was going through some old clips and found some really pretty Zinnia flowers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

I've had really good luck with growing sweet potatoes in straw bales. This time we got some really big ones. You never know what you will get when it comes time to harvest sweet potatoes. This time we didn't get very many, but there were a couple of good sized ones. Let us know if you've ever tried growing sweet potatoes in straw bales.

Striped Bark Scorpions are very common in some parts of the country. The ones in this video are in the state of Missouri, but I've also seem them in the state of Kansas. They are nocturnal, so you probably will never see one moving about during the daytime.

I love to grow lots of different things, so sometimes I run out of room in the garden. When that happens, I usually turn to growing in grow bags. Even though these beets didn't do quite as well as they usually do in the ground, I think they did well enough. We enjoy making pickled beets, so that is what we use small batches of beets for. If you are interested in seeing a video of how we make pickled beets, and the recipe we use, I'll put a link below. Let us know if you've ever grown beet root in a grow bag. Thanks for watching!

It's amazing to me how beautiful a vegetable garden looks when it's seen this time of year when everything is brown. This was in July when we were harvesting tons of good stuff to eat from it.
