I had no idea mahonia grew back east, somehow thinking only of it as "oregon grape." Speaking of (un)neighborly actions, we have quite a bit mahonia root theft here, from city parks.

I find your writing, and your artwork, wonderfully comforting, Walter.

There are several species of Mahonia in the east, but I don't know which one we have. It may even be a cultivar, or at least was bought from a nursery.

I am pleased you like my artwork, and find my writing comforting. I'll keep plugging along...

I had no idea catbirds could sing with such virtuosity. I was only aware of their shrill warning calls.

Thank you for this. For most folks backyard birds are rarely sorted into individualized species.
