When I walked into her house the other day I could not believe my eyes. There was stuff everywhere…the floor and every surface was covered! I asked her how she could live like that and she got very insulted! Can you help her and…

By Ted Grussing … there were quite a few Great Blue Herons down at the ponds day before yesterday and admittedly midafternoon is not the best time to be down there and have any expectations of finding much life on the move.

That was the lens I chose for that body that day so no real excuses, but it sounds good … why blame yourself for what…
