Having a red-eye used to be on my bucket list, erased at some point, not struck through. It was really neat to discover several years back that a local head shop owner had taken an interest in keeping and breeding dart frogs.

As far as pets go, though, a russian blue and an emerald tree boa are the only ones still to be crossed off my list.

I have found myself primarily gathering for quite some time the understanding of all it would take to create a small, self-sustaining garden space suitable for a plethora of native wildlife.

Attracting nesting gold finches, so far I think, is going to be the most difficult part.
