About Me
- Name: Jim
- Location: of Jim and Peg's Habitat Home, High In The Mountains Of Southern California
We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well. It's our PLACE TO BE........... ***NOTICE*** Unless otherwise stated, all photos and text posted here are the copyrighted property of Jim Otterstrom, who hereby grants permission to re-print or re-publish his work, freely, for non-commercial purposes, so long as it is un-altered and credit is given.

I saw a ring-necked pheasant in the yard across the street this week, just after the snow came. I had never seen one on the loose around here (although we used to hear them at the farm), and then I see one right in town! But the only picture I got was the wing marks in the snow where he took off.
What is a game ranch? It doesn't sound good.

My uncle has a few of these in an enclosed pen with his chickens.

No, it's not what I'd call a fun place, the owner raises these for hunters who pay a fee to shoot them on his ranch. Like shooting ducks in a barrel I'd say.
That's really disturbing.
yum!

Were you "yumming" the pheasant or Vivacious Vegan? Watch out friend, as you probably know by now, "Hell hath no wrath like a woman's scorn".
