my notes

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the wind longs to play with your hair.
Kahlil Gibran

"It doesn't matter who you love, or how you love, but that you love" - Rod McKuen

Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with th... read more

I copied some little facts on birdfeeding if anybody is interested! enjoy!

To keep birds coming back to your feeders in any season provide them with the following three essential elements:

* Variety of quality seed.
* Fresh water for drinking and bathing.
* Ample cover, preferably provided by native plants. Native plants also provide potential nesting sites and a source of natural food.

The winds awaken, the leaves whirl round,
Our cheeks are pale, our hair is unbound,
Our breasts are heaving, our eyes are agleam,
Our arms are waving, our lips are apart;
And if any gaze on our rushing band,
We come between him and the deed of his hand,
We come be... read more

"Even the smallest details~the delicate textures of leaves, the intricate sculpture of flowers~are too important to overlook. Every element of the forest, right down to the exquisite fungi & plush, vibrant mosses, have considerable value, just as much as the giant living trees themselves. Learning to look in the cracks, along the floor, out of the way~not let your attention be captured by the obvious, dominant plants~are important lessons for the natural habitat gardener wishing to initiate a... read more

"The value of small "postage stamp" prairies and savannas should not be underestimated. Remnant prairies as small as one fourth acre have been shown to harbor an amazing diversity of insects, including rare species that do not occur in adjacent agricultural fields."
