On this day, February 1st in 1969, Tommy James and the Shondells started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with one of my Top 5 Favorite Songs of All Time, ‘Crimson And Clover’, the group’s second and last No.1.

A surprise during my pollinator survey this morning. I was trying to get a photo of a busy Mining Bee visiting flowers, when it stared struggling and seemed stuck in something. I took a few more photos and then it dropped off of the flower but remained suspended. Only then did I notice that a camouflaged White-banded Crab Spider hiding on the flower had caught it and they were now swinging from the spider`s thread.
These things were tiny.
I told a botanist on the site what I had seen and she asked if I intervened. Too late, the bee was already envenomated, not that I would interfere with nature doing its thing. Spiders have to eat too. #bee #spider #miningbee #crabspider #whitebandedcrabspider #beeprey #spiderpredation #spidereatsbee #predation #pollinatorsurvey #beesurvey #prairierestoration #citizensforconservation #365barrington #closeupphotography #macro #insectphotography #spiderphotography
We truly enjoy working with couples to celebrate their love! This experience with Emily and Jordan was fun because we were working with each of them on a secret gift for the other! You can trust you local jewelers to keep your secrets till your celebration arrives!

Wood Duck Update.
There are now two families of Wood Ducks on Long Slough (a.k.a. Vander Pool) at Flint Creek Savanna. One family has 8 ducklings and one has 16.
Clutch size averages 6-16, so 16 may be a normal clutch, but Wood Ducks also practice "egg dumping." Some females - often first-year breeders - follow another Wood Duck back to her nest box and deposit one egg a day while the original female is out foraging. This results in overly large clutches and decreases hatching success.
I once saw a pair of Wood Ducks sitting on top of the nest box I monitored and watched them fly away. I assumed the box was now empty, stuck my phone in the hole, and took a picture. There was a female on the nest, which makes me think the pair on top was egg dumping. Also, after the ducklings left the nest, there were 3 or 4 unhatched eggs remaining inside which suggests there were too many eggs, some of which failed to hatch. #woodduck #woodducks #woodduckducklings #ducklings #birding #citizensforconservation #365barrington #birdphotography #birdingphotography #nikonbirds

Some coverboards are just better than others.

My son Brandon and I are celebrating our two years of having a hot tub rental business together this weekend. I cannot describe how awesome this experience has been with him starting and learning to run a business. As the business has grown from one hot tub to four, we very much appreciate our customers and everyone who spreads the word about our small local business. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the past two years and we look forward to many more to come.
Lemonade Stand TODAY!!
All proceeds will go to Let It Be Us to support foster families and the children they serve!
When: Saturday May 27 3:00-5:30pm
Where: Corner of Lincoln and Cook Sts.
Who: Four fabulous Hough Street Elementary School Second Graders!!
These fine kiddos just went through First Communion together at St. Anne’s Church and are turning their focus on their community by raising awareness and taking donations for Foster Care Awareness month this May. They have had multiple lemonade/ homemade treat stands already this month and with multiple families pledging to match what they raise, these kids are motivated in their final stretch and hope to have as many people from the community come out to support this wonderful cause.
