Nutty Hummingbird
Comments (2)We are halfway between Atlanta, Georgia and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Having lovely weather right now. :P I put out the hummingbird feeder just in case, but I have not seen any activity as of yet. The sunflower feeder and suet have been quite busy, though. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Hairy Woodpecker, Brown-Headed Nuthatches, White-Breasted Nuthatch, House Finches, Titmouse/s, Chickadees, various Sparrows, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Cardinals, House Wrens, Carolina Wrens... all visiting one or the other (or both) of the feeders....See MorePics of nutty, naughty, silly things our pets do
Comments (43)I am laughing out loud at these stories and videos. It's been quite a few years since I've had a pet, but I've had a few over the years. The dogs just did doggie things like steal the roast beef off the counter. Scruffy the mutt we found would sleep on the bed when we weren't home, which he wasn't supposed to do. I'd walk in the back door and hear a thunk from him jumping off the bed. When I went upstairs he'd pretend to be sleeping on the floor, in spite of the bedspread being messed up. Worst of all were the ferrets. They could and did eat everything. It would go in one end and come out the other in the shape of intestines. I have hot air heat in my house and they used the ducts as their own personal trail system. It was so funny to be sitting in the den and a ferret would be scrabbling behind the duct cover. My son had taken the cover off the duct in his room and they used that to get in and out....See MoreMy "Nutty Forest"
Comments (6)OK. First, I'm not going to lecture you on this but merely point out, plant communities and all the other associated life forms are nothing less than the basket that carries our lives. It's a bit more than beauty, although that attribute too is undersold in today's increasingly harsh and ugly world. There, that part's done. As to the sort of "permaculture" thing you're after, that's cool too. But you must do your homework. As Gal has stated above, you want plants that are actually adapted to your climate, soils conditions, etc. Otherwise, you're really wasting your time. So again, I'd suggest a course of study, whether on your own or whatever, to bone up on what can work in your specific area. One tidbit I can state with certainty is that mountain states like Idaho have many tightly packed climate zones with changes in elevation. You will want to pay attention to that factor. I also think the U of Idaho-Moscow's nursery program might offer some good options for you. They have a great things going there last time I checked. +oM...See MoreNot an ID request, just some pics
