I really love what I do, especially when the customers are this adorable!   Photo: Celeste Coley

It's not easy starting a business.  It's risky.  Incredibly hard with long hours.  It's risky and can be lonely... and... did I say risky?  But, when you get a confirmation that what you are doing is good, in this case not just a confirmation but a wag of the tail too, well that's something special...

It was an amazing last summer to watch these little birds fly over for a visit.     Photo: © DFries

If you had visitors travel 900 miles to your house for dinner you would probably plan a great meal for their arrival.  Ruby Throated Hummingbirds are on their way north so get your feeders ready, they will be hungry when they get here!

Who can resist a package from Sparta?  Especially when the stamps  feature bicycles!  we LOVE bicycles around here!
