Was filling my water cup this morning and got to thinking about…well, water. And well water and tap water and…

With spring finally here, let’s revisit some area wildflower hikes!

We’re also including information on Southern Oregon Land Conservancy’s 2026 hiking series so you can sign up! Click HERE to view all the information on the series.

It’s no small project and it will take several weeks

Last week we learned about jackrabbits and hares, this week it’s all about the bunnies! Oregon has four rabbit species: Mountain and eastern cottontails, brush rabbits and pygmy rabbits.

This week we’re going to go on a crawly egg hunt! Anyone can find a brightly colored Easter Egg (okay, unless they have an uncle like mine who put a silver dollar in a blue plastic egg then dropped it into the swimming pool), but we’re going hunting for arthropod eggs!

As The Great Egg Hunt Weekend approaches and I look forward to (and back on) photos of our wee area tykes running across perfectly manicured lawns snatching up brightly colored plastic eggs and I am reminded that the egg hunts of my childhood were very much…not that.

With Easter just a hop, skip and a jump away, over the next two weeks All Things will celebrate Oregon’s bouncing bunnies.

Fun fact: Traditionally rabbits are called “bunnies”, but not all “rabbits” are rabbits, some rabbits are hares.
