After a dark and slightly depressing morning, the sun this afternoon beckoned me outside. I shot a few pics to add to the blog. Hopefully I'll get some work done the next time I get into the yard. I have some invasives to cut down--Japanese honeysuckle for one and some of the overgrown forsythia that I inherited from the previous owner. I plan to cut them down but leave them in place or nearby so they continue to provide shelter for wildlife.
Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.
Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.
