I am a Star Wars Child. 😎💕😘

@shoelady60,

I am going to try to get something one and done. I may just do the front yards first
and then the huge back yard perhaps on Sunday. I will take my time because I want it
done right and only hubby and I can make that happen. 💕🎈

One of my nieces in GA is going to her high school prom she looked so pretty. 💕

Thank you for mentioning my brother he is back to work. I’d rather he be at work
than being sick and we never saw this coming. Total shock especially to him.

Here this should cool you down a bit with your temps being high. OZ have more rain
on the way. So that is one reason my planting is going to take minute. 💕

Hey enjoy your treat. 💕😘

@shoelady60,

LOL! LOL! I love what you wrote. 🎈💕

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening and stay safe. 😎

Good afternoon to you. Hot today🔥, right now 86, heavy rain tonight and all through the weekend. About a 50% chance everyday next week.⛈ We had more than enough in April.

Did some errands early and spent a couple hours at mom’s. Picked up dinner on the way home so no cooking today, yay!😊 Don’t think I’ll be planting flowers until sometime next week between all the raindrops. No big plans this weekend so will do odds and ends inside and take it easy.

Hope your brother is doing well🙏, sending hot hugs from me and Jake.🤗💖

I’m making this official!!🐶🍷🐶 And it can be more than one day!!✨

Finding Nature in Your Neighborhood

There is much we can learn from the ocean, as we have a similar inner landscape within us.
Both cities and tightly packed suburbs offer wildlife bountiful nooks and crannies in which to hide, which can make it difficult to spot the animals that live in our midst. Many animals thrive among paved streets, sidewalks, buildings, parking lots, and high-rises. There are animals in abundance burrowing in the soil of center medians and tiny backyard gardens, making nests in the trees that line broad and busy avenues, and buzzing around the flowers that beautify our parks. To find these creatures, we only need to stop, look, and listen. Nature’s drama is continually playing out on the window ledges where weary birds stop to roost, in the shadowy places where cautious nocturnal mammals wait for night’s mantle to fall, and in the fountains where playful waterfowl splash and frolic. When we observe the animals that share our habitat, we become a part of their beautiful, complex, and exciting world.

Season by season, cities offer diverse ecosystems for you to explore. If your search for urban and suburban wildlife is challenging, try to look at your community with an animal’s eyes. Where there are shrubs and flowers, insects such as butterflies, ladybugs, beetles, and spiders can usually be found. The insects, in turn, attract the birds that feast upon them. Even the smallest green spaces are hosts to squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and moles. Decorative awnings offer falcons a place to raise their young. At night, a different community of animals awakens to the world. Raccoons, skunks, and possums emerge to examine our human leftovers. Even our pets feel the call of the wild. It’s not uncommon for well-fed cats in colorful collars to stalk the streets in search of prey. Signs of habitation, like nests or hives, and audible evidence, like chirps, will help you find them.

Recognizing that you share your city with a wide range of animals can make you feel like a part of the grand circle of life and help you appreciate the importance of a healthy urban environment. You can admire the hardiness and adaptability of the urban animal while developing a sense of stewardship that inspires you to become their champion. The shrill calls of birds, the hum of bees, and the sweet squeaks of city-dwelling mammals can be a symphony that helps you develop a deeper connection with the natural world. 😎🎈
