Maybe I am crazy, but I 99% sure our Luna Moth is laying eggs on our screen door.  She has a little pod of 5 of them (photo above) and has now moved beside them and is no longer on top of the eggs (below photo.)  Does anyone know what will happen next?  Do these […]

I’m really behind here on writing and I apologize.  I know you all wait anxiously for our next posts - you know, all you fans out there.  Lately, I have been obsessing about the trash across this city, and will probably bitch about that in another post.  But, I thought I would write now about […]

I should have posted this last week, but alas, I was drinking wine in California.  Don’t forget about Jazzoo Atlanta tomorrow night!  This fabulous new event for Atlanta benefits Zoo Atlanta and it looks fun as heck.  Not only are there 4 live music stages, there are 30 great restaurants cooking for you, and 20 […]

My friend, Arty Schronce, is a plant enthusiast and one I admire greatly because he knows so darn much about native plants and flowers. He works for the Georgia Department of Agriculture and is a great guy. He and a group of other plant folks rescued a bigleaf magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla) from […]

So, the lack of water situation has already crippled the town of Orme, Tennessee.  These 145 residents only get 3 HOURS of water a day!   We are only a 150 miles to the southeast…Can you imagine the millions of city dwellers here putting up with that?  What would we all do besides storm the The State Capitol […]

Sometimes Atlanta gets a bad rap for not being a “real” city. Compared to Gonzales, Louisiana, the ATL seems like a real city to me, but I feel further validation in that view now that we have Flexcar. Flexcar is a private form of “public” transportation that allows members to rent cars on […]
