Flutter

Yesterday, TWITTER was the message.

Today, it's FLUTTER. As in Butterfly/ies.

Many of you know that hubby and I have been Habitat Stewards with the National Wildlife Federation since 2003 ... we started a ginormous project here in our community, too, which we registered in 2005 - we are hoping to someday see Encinitas certified as a Community Wildlife Habitat.

But that's all bigger stuff ... this is smaller, more gentle stuff today.

If you are interested in GARDENING for BUTTERFLIES, click on this link and see what NWF has to say about your dreams:

Me, I am over-the-top impressed with the new 'look' of the NWF site, especially all the links that pertain to "gardening for wildlife" (ie, birds, butterflies, mammals, reptiles, etc). For the complete overview on that topic, click here:

Let me know what you think. {I love comments!}

the JAY has spoken

and "I'm gonna tell God how you treat me", is what he says.

whoa. them's strong words.

If you don't already garden for wildlife, I encourage you to visit the National Wildlife Federation site at www.nwf.org/gardenforwildlife for tips on Gardening for Wildlife ...

if this hummingbird at a Manzanita doesn't inspire you ... what would?!

Mark and I are both volunteers for NWF, within their Backyard Wildlife Habitat program -- which encompasses both private backyards (residential) and school & other public places habitats as well. It's a remarkable program, and gardening for wildlife has never been easier - the advent of all the Native Plant Nurseries -- nationwide -- has made it all so much more possible to DO THE RIGHT THING. Make appropriate-for-your-community plant choices, and the native wildlife will be fed, nurtured, protected, and right at home ... in YOUR yard. How cool is that?

SPEAKING UP FOR WILDLIFE

Mark and I are long-time members of the National Wildlife Federation, or NWF; we are volunteer Habitat Stewards in their Backyard Wildlife Habitat program, and I (Davi) am also a Host (which means I can "host" training programs for NEW volunteer Habitat Stewards). Being involved with the BWH program since 2003 has brought us many joys & rewards, not the least of which has been spear-heading the COMMUNITY WILDLIFE HABITAT project for our home community of Encinitas. Please visit the NWF website to find out what YOU can do to help wildlife where you live ... www.nwf.org is their website.

And SPEAK UP FOR WILDLIFE every chance you have.

Thank you - D.
