WELCOME HENRI!

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Marc Kuhn

Roach

Posted on July 15, 2020 by Marc Kuhn

I have come to respect the impressive ability the cockroach has to follow me wherever I go. No, I am not kidding. Cockroaches have lived in every house I have lived in. I guess I should be flattered that they appreciate … Continue reading →

RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM MY THINKING CHAIR

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Marc Kuhn

Everything’s Just Ducky Around Here

Posted on March 17, 2019 by Marc Kuhn

FOR THE BIRDS

Posted on September 18, 2018 by Marc Kuhn

ANOTHER HERON, THIS ONE BLUE

Posted on September 10, 2018 by Marc Kuhn

I admit it, I have been neglecting my blog lately.  There was a time when I would update my postings almost daily.  Don’t ask me how I had so much to talk about because the answer is, I did, but … Continue reading →

A BIRD STOPS BY

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Marc Kuhn

A Yellow Crowned Night Heron stopped by the house. Certainly more welcomed than a live-in mouse. My wife told me there were two of them yesterday. I guess one has flown off and gone some other way. This one was … Continue reading →
