		<description><![CDATA[So far this winter has been relatively mild which is good for all kinds of wildlife including birds and small and large mammals. Milder temperatures means fewer calories are needed to stay alive. There is no deep or ice-encrusted snow to keep wildlife from getting to their food sources such as nuts, seeds, fruits, grasses, [&#8230;]]]></description>

It is also a spot where many native plants have become re-established. One of those plants, flowering right now in the middle of December, [&#8230;]]]></description>

They must be everyone&#8217;s favorite tree, or you would think so because everywhere there&#8217;s a housing development there&#8217;s at least one Bradford pear tree planted in front of every house. Even municipalities and businesses are planting them. They do have a certain charm and they&#8217;re [&#8230;]]]></description>

She was collecting mud and other muddy debris from the edge of a water puddle to use to cement her nest materials together. She&#8217;d look around for the right bit [&#8230;]]]></description>

Maybe it just feels like I&#8217;m behind because of the snow we&#8217;ve been having recently. This past weekend while driving back from up north, I spotted several people catching up on their fall tree leaf clean [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During an afternoon walk while visiting our daughter Robin, we came across a grouping of Chelone, more commonly known as turtleheads. We found them growing in the 606, an elevated park planted by the city&#8217;s talented landscapers. You don&#8217;t need much imagination to see why they are called turtle heads; their flowers really resemble a [&#8230;]]]></description>

Before modern chemical weed killers, farmers had limited ways of dealing with weeds.
