Bluebirds Online

My position as the Webmaster for the North Carolina Bluebird Society (NCBS) since May 2007 has brought so much joy into my life. I am happy to put my Internet skills to good use by helping bluebirds.  I have also been serving as the Newsletter Editor since the summer of 2017.  Assembling content for the Bluebird Notes publication is a fun & creative way to help get the word out about bluebird conservation. These roles have afforded the opportunity to interview bluebird lovers and experts, brainstorm, and bring story ideas to life.

I am especially proud of the Summer 2020 edition, which was dedicated to a long-time devoted bluebird supporter during his 100th year. Mr. Bill Satterwhite, Raleigh, is now 101. Read more about this man who provides so much hope and inspiration. I have been blessed to him know since May 2007.

Bluebird Conservation Couples (Spring 2019) and Bluebirds in the City (Summer 2019) stand out as a couple of the stories that I really enjoyed writing. You can see these and other newsletters I published per links at the right or from archives on ncbluebird.org.

Happy Sunday & St. Patrick’s Day

Hello, Friends. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday/St. Patrick’s Day. Went outside this morning to start of a beautiful North Carolina day. Snapped a few photos of my “Hoosier Flowering Almond” that is in early stages of bloom. This plant means so much to me. I love flowers, and this one is especially gorgeous. And, a sign of spring and sentimental value.

It is pink, which is my favorite color (the green leaves can be the symbol of St. Paddy’s Day color for today).  It was transplanted from family land in Houston, IN to Knightdale, NC in 1996. Always long for home, but this floral reminder of Indiana helps.   More about my hometown can be found at houstonindiana.com.

Small Town Charm

The small town atmosphere and peaceful serenity of Houston, Indiana is refreshing. Photo of the Houston Christian Church  captures this quaint little village very well. I am proud to call this area of Jackson County, Indiana home. Hope your day is fabulous.
