The high biodiversity I'm seeing again makes me smile.
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.

It *isn't* Over!
Despite the fact that we've dipped below freezing and most things are done blooming, the activity of pollinators is still going strong. For the most part only the white asters are still blooming--at least one species is commonly called "frost aster" (I think), but I'm seeing the bumblebees, fly mimics, and other pollinators that I've been missing most of summer and fall.
The high biodiversity I'm seeing again makes me smile.
