Wasn’t I just telling you that you should probably be reading Nippertown? Well, I have to plug them again for sharing the link to the live webcam of a hummingbird nest, complete with hatching eggs! How fun is that? I would like to show my children, but they are outside playing, and I can’t exactly … [Read more…]
