  • When Birds Recycle February 3, 2012
    I was out and about on Sunday, cleaning up after the dogs and looking for wildlife of interest. January is not always the best time of year to find things, but Florida has experienced a relatively warm winter and spring is in the air so we have our fair share of resident wildlife meandering around....

  • Orange Moon and The Grandmother Tree February 1, 2012
    Exploring the wonders of nature with the children who come to visit my wildlife garden is one of the greatest joys of my life. We turn over rocks to look for the Worm Snake who lives there. We watch the bugs with our hand lenses. We are amazed when the butterfly emerges from its chrysalis.... [Continue Reading] […]

  • Green Healthy Lawns and Yards without Chemicals January 31, 2012
    In cased you missed it, last week our very own Carole Brown took the wildlife gardening world by storm with her exposure of the National Wildlife Federation/ScottsMiracle-Gro partnership, which quickly escalated into a widespread social media storm of protest by organic gardeners, farmers and environmental writers. On Sunday, amazingly, the NWF’s reversed th […]

  • Counting Birds in the Garden January 30, 2012
    I could not have guessed how timely this post would turn out to be.  I thought, I’ll get a head start promoting the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC).  After all we want to see more birds in the garden.  But who would have guessed that while I was gazing out my window this past gray...

  • Feels Like the First Time January 29, 2012
    [Guest post by Jan Bills] “For me the only things of interests are those linked to the heart” ~Audrey Hepburn When I read the email from Carole asking if I would like to write a guest post for her highly regarded, well-respected website, I nearly dropped my teeth! Me, I thought to myself. I am... [Continue Reading] […]

It's Back! Honest Scrap II

honestscrap

Barbara Wise of bwisegardening has tagged me for a (second) prestigious Honest Scrap award! For those of you that read my first Honest Scrap just a few weeks ago, I understand if you pass on reading this one… for those (obviously very kind) people who want to know a bit more here are ten *NEW* things you won’t know about me from reading my blog:

  1. My favorite color is green. If you ask me what color to paint anything I will always answer green.
  2. When I was four I chopped up and fed a shriveled earthworm to my younger brother. (I told him it was raisins.) He’s forgiven me.
  3. I’ve only seen the ocean once. I was completely awestruck.
  4. I know American sign language.
  5. Butterflies are delicate, beautiful creatures and very welcome guests in my garden. However, when they land on me I scream like a banshee. I think it’s the antennae…
  6. I was once stampeded by a herd of small goats at a Canadian theme park.
  7. When I was seven I almost drowned in a family friend’s swimming pool. I had a “bubble” on but it slipped off. I still vividly recall seeing the sunlight at the water’s surface and not being able to reach it. The family’s teen son pulled me out.
  8. Elvis Presley. How Great Thou Art. Goosebumps.
  9. I like to collect beach glass with our youngest daughter. We don’t use it for anything, we just collect pieces of it.
  10. Someday I WILL host an Austen garden party and all of my favorite garden friends will attend. In frocks. And hats.

That’s it ! Now my job is to appoint seven more bloggers for the Honest Scrap award. It may take me a while to find seven more bloggers to do this, but I look forward to it! (Bloggers to be announced…)
