I would like to offer an eco-friendly gardening tip. Winter can be a challenging season for the wildlife that graces our gardens. There’s a simple and effective way to lend a helping hand to our wildlife friends during these harsh months. Resisting the urge to embark on a vigorous pre-winter garden cleanup, by letting parts of your garden remain beautifully messy can be very helpful. Waiting until the end of winter to trim hedges, ivy, flower stems, and seed heads, you provide a vital source of food and shelter for bird-people. Insects find cozy homes within bundled sticks, and fallen leaves can be transformed into leaf mulch, creating a haven for frog-fellas, invertebrates, and our foraging feathered-friends. So, by embracing a bit of natural wilderness in your garden, you’re offering a lifeline to the animal-people who depend on it. It’s a simple gesture that can make a world of difference for wildlife during the winter season.
We got the following joke from the chuckle pharmacy to give you a fun immune system boost. Here it comes! It’s entitled “Nothing Personal.”
Little Jayden was upset that his little league baseball coach yelled at him whenever he made a mistake. So, his mom tried to comfort him:
“It's OK, sweetheart. It’s just something coaches do. It’s not personal.”
“Oh, yeah? Well, if it’s not personal, then why does he say my name every time he’s upset?”
?!
