Smell Like Dirt
In Spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” Margaret AtwoodArchive for birdbath
BRRRRR!!!!!!
It may not be winter according to the calendar but it is according to the thermometer! It will be down into the 20’s every night this week. And while you are all snuggled up inside your warm home, its important to remember the wildlife outside. Make sure you have fresh water available for the wildlife, birds included. Its important that they be able to keep their feathers clean to help keep them warm. And of course everything still needs to drink water, no matter how cold it is A birdbath heater will help keep the water from freezing. And if you haven’t put up any roosting boxes, now is the time. Birds will use them to for protection from the weather.
Summer Reruns
Network TV can do it, so I figure, why can’t SLD? Its July and the temps are in the 90’s pretty much every day now, and we are all spending a lot more time in the air conditioning, including me! But we can’t forget the wildlife in the backyard who don’t have the option of coming in to get out of the brutal temperatures. So I figured this is a great time to revisit our very first video, The Mister. At about $20, the mister is cheapest and most fun method of providing water for birds and other wildlife. And a great excuse to climb a tree! Come on, you know you want to.
