Gardening with Soule

Here’s something you don’t see every day, at least not in the north east.�
My cousin was out in california over the holidays and he took these pictures of the elephant seals. (Look like Sea Lions to me.)
 Now there is the kind of animal to be.  Laying on the beach in the sun with all your [...]

 One day, a few years back, while my son, Cam and my nephew, Michael were painting our neighbor’s house, this little guy appeared and followed Michael everywhere.  After several days of this, Mike brought him home since this cute little guy had chosen him.�
 To his disbelief his parents were good with it even though they never thought they [...]
