Winter’s quick return landed this black capped chickadee on a snow-covered branch. While the black capped chickadee is the state bird of both Massachusetts and Maine, it is also one of our favorite birds in Minnesota.
Pave the way to the Serenity Garden
Work on the Serenity Garden at the North Shore Health Care Center came to a close when winter blew in, but now that the last gasp of winter is wilting, it won’t be long before the project begins again.

In the hospital beds when I was young with my guts rotting inside of me, I would suppress the woods and the waters, because I thought I might never see them again, or because remembering them made me go mad.
