Are my horses the only ones who use their stalls as toilets? They’ve stayed out all day in the snowstorm only to pause to defecate in the barn!

UPDATE: C Shells was a huge success, but I couldn’t have done it without the help of family and friends and your patronage.
Thanks again!

C Shells will be at the Oyster Festival this year. Please visit us on Community Row, Booth 20. We won’t have cheese, but plenty of mixed medium nautical art, watercolor, and our famous Lovers Retreat Farm Pécan Brittle!

These are the statistics for the Middle Peninsula Audubon Christmas Bird Count on Tuesday December 27, 2022:

Total Birds: 10,719
Total species identified: 87
Most numerous species: Red-winged Blackbirds (3046) and Ruddy Ducks (1122) and Ring-billed Gulls (959)

53 participants in the Count; 30 were Virginia Master Naturalists from four local chapters.

Volunteers were in the field counting birds for 10 hours traveling in cars and walking on foot to find the birds in three counties; parts of Gloucester, Middlesex, and King & Queen County. Public parks were visited and many, many private property owners allowed us access to count the birds. We are very appreciative of their support for this important citizen science event. Organized and sponsored by the National Audubon Society for 123 years!

“I truly believe the unconditional love we get from our dogs, cats, horses, and other pets/family members is a blessing from God. They make us feel better and teach us to become better people. Because that bond grows to be so strong, it makes it all the tougher to have to say goodbye. Sometimes, those goodbyes are sudden, sometimes, we know they will soon be a certainty.” Danny Merrell
