This week I prepared a lesson on cacti for my garden club students. It’s a great lesson for the February or anytime in the winter, as it can be conducted inside.

While we were driving our son back to school on Sunday, we crossed the great Mississippi River. Due to the mild weather, parts of the river are still open and not frozen. There, in the trees, lining one of the pieces of land in the slough, were a pair of Bald Eagles, resplendently sitting with…
