We mow so rarely - a toad has decided that the mower should be his home.

Last week I went through the Master Naturalist training. Field trips included - Cedar Creek Science Reserve, Mill City Museum, and the adjacent lock and damn.

The ultimate perk was viewing the catalogued specimens of the Bell Museum. The birders in the group were mostly interested in seeing extinct species. I found it interesting to learn that there is an art to creating these things. Some are clearly much better done than others.
