Let’s Count Those Birds!

Today begins an annual four-day event (February 17-20) referred to as the Great Backyard Bird Count, or GBBC. I can assure you Wonderful Wally will be among the thousands out there photographing, identifying and counting as many birds as he possibly can to help researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society understand how bird populations are...
One Lonely Betta
Posted by Nana’s Home and Garden by Glenda Mink on Feb 10, 2012 in Blogging, Home/Garden, Pets | 0 comments
There was a time when Nana enjoyed three male bettas, each in a uniquely shaped vase – one an antique, as accents in the kitchen and great room. A fourth display of the handsome Siamese fighting fish graced the corner of my former office desk. Actually, at one point, Nana had a total of five bettas. The fifth was in a huge brandy sniffer-styled bowl holding seven gallons of...

Pretty Little Songbird
Posted by Nana’s Home and Garden by Glenda Mink on Feb 3, 2012 in Blogging, Environment, Home/Garden | 0 comments
The male Painted Bunting is a beautiful songbird with a dark blue head, red eye ring and green back. It has a red rump and undersides, and is easily identified by its distinctive colors. No wonder, this pretty little bird was once a very popular caged bird. It almost looks like it belongs to the same family as the Parakeet. Instead, the Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) is a...

North Walk-in-Water Trek Tomorrow

Nana and Wonderful Wally’s together activities for this upcoming week will begin with a hike through Polk County’s North Walk-in-Water environmental lands property Saturday morning, and maybe we’ll see the new movie “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” – even though The Associated Press critic David Germain only gave it two stars.

Some stinging insects including bees and yellowjackets are beneficial to our environment, but many people disagree because of the powerful punch that comes with their ability to sting. “There is a distinct difference between honeybees and yellowjackets and it is important for people to understand each species and their habits before they try to take the nest head on,” said Ron...creating today Jan 15 2012

First Week of Retirement Bliss
Posted by Nana’s Home and Garden by Glenda Mink on Jan 13, 2012 in Blogging, Home/Garden | 0 comments
Wonderful Wally and I received telephone calls from two of his out-of-state siblings to ask what we were doing our first week of retirement. His twin sister found us cleaning out the attic and organizing the garage on Monday. Things were not a lot different yesterday when his younger sister called from Wisconsin, except Wally was out photographing the eagle on Lake Morton. I...

One Last Day

Nana has one last day at the office of Polk County Parks and Recreation. Though I have maintained that I am not really leaving, instead that I will simply work in a different capacity from a different location – the truth is I’m outta’ there. There will be this lump in my throat and tears on my cheek as I make my final stroll through the hallway later today to bid my office...
Anasazi Beans and Elvis Bread
Posted by Nana’s Home and Garden by Glenda Mink on Dec 23, 2011 in Blogging, Home/Garden | 0 comments
So what is it that Anasazi Beans and Elvis Bread have in common? Not a thing to my knowledge, other than both were recently prepared by Nana for the very first time. They are not intended meal companions, but were extremely good and will be prepared often henceforth in Nana’s kitchen.
Anasazi Beans were one of the few crops cultivated by the Anasazi (Native American)...

“Trek for a Cure” will be Nana’s mantra through January 14 as I enlist as many members as possible to join our Friends of the Parks’ team in support of the Susan G. Komen Race for Breast Cancer Cure fundraising event being held at Tiger Town Stadium.
A special team t-shirt was designed before I left last Friday for Indy. It was a whirlwind four days, including travel time,...

No matter where you live, it is safe to assume you have come into contact with one the most unpopular and prominent bugs in America: the cockroach. They are extremely difficult to kill if you do not have the proper tools, and their infestations can be frustrating. “Lots of people love living in Florida, but hate the roaches,” said Ron Henderson owner of Country Boy Pest Control,...Fresh is Always Best!

I was looking for a quick and easy recipe, utilizing chicken breasts I had on hand, for an after work “eat and run” meal. My son Norm and my grandchildren, Cameron and CayLeigh, had a very narrow window as there was tree decorating to be done back at Norm’s that same evening before his flight back to Alexandria the next day.
I had a couple of days’ notice, but I had...

Sweet Success!

The smoked turkey recipe I found online at the Master Built website offered two “cooking time” options; but I knew our appointed grill master, my son Glen, would not want to be smoking a turkey for 9 ½ hours – the longer cooking time! The recipe suggested a 19 pound- turkey; Glen smoked a turkey weighing only10 pounds following the same directions, thus reducing the...
