In the case of who chewed up the table cloth, Joe doesn't need a detective BUT if you are a home Buyer you DO need to hire a detective. Even if the home Sellers are sweet looking old Grandparent types you want to hire a Home Inspector before buying a home.Check out this 18 second videoIf you are a regular on Active Rain you will see even crazier stuff than this. Let me just say that Home Inspectors are worth their weight in gold when you need a home detective.

Yesterday I got my first sighting of a hummingbird at our feeder for this season!At first, I thought it was one of those carpenter bees that have been buzzing around, but then I realized it stopped for a drink at the feeder I put out the other day.  Luckily, I had a camera close by!The juncos which have been here since November, seem to have departed and headed north over the weekend.  I have not seen them in a few days.  I was continuing to put out birdseed for the juncos until they left.  After a few years of personal debate, I made a decision to stop putting out bird seed altogether once my supply is depleted this season and bugs are in abundance, since the house sparrows have just taken over everything.  They’ve already had their first set of babies which have visited the feeder, an...
