Happy Earth Day!


You've heard it a million times already, but here's one more reminder for the road -- The world is in our hands.  It is in all of our hands.  Take care of it.  Do your part.  Plant a tree.  Recycle.  Put up bluebird houses, or bat houses.  Compost.  Carry a sack to the grocery store . . . or?

What are you doing for Earth Day?

Bluebirds!

Bluebirds are my favorite bird and I've decided to try to attract them to our yard.  We've seen some here and there but never with any regularity.  With a little online poking around, I found out that these lovely bug-eaters will nest in boxes overlooking meadows and grasslands.  Nearby trees are helpful for the baby blues when they're learning to fly.  My husband and I set up our first bluebird house this weekend and are eager to see if it will attract a beautiful family.  There are so many dos and don'ts, myths and legends out there -- it's hard to know which bluebird attracting tips really work.  Have you had luck attracting bluebirds to your yard?  If so, please share your helpful hints!
