About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Successful attacks by the enemy
A reader has sent me a photo taken clandestinely. This may explain how the enemy maintains that sustained attack on the bird feeders. This may even explain why I had no coffee beans this morning! CLICK
The feeder
Some quick shots from the feeder. There have been a lot of woodpeckers in the last few days and many few finches. This Red-Bellied Woodpecker triumphantly comes up with a peanut. Brown Thrasher. What a very different eye they have … Read More
