I would love to have 3 acres or MORE! I really appreciate the great comment Fay. Going native is not easy to do. If you can pull it off, the results are amazing. I plan to have a entire blog post just on "going native". Its awesome that your grandkids enjoy the outdoors. Its a rare trait these days.
I lived on 3 acres in the woods with a pond and a brook in New Jersey before moving to Texas. There was nature all around, and then I moved to Texas to a housing development with a small backyard and a privacy fence. It was a difficult adjustment, and I knew I wanted nature outside of my back door and that has been my goal through the years. Free garden classes at a couple nurseries made me realize the importance of planting native plants, and I have tried to share my love of nature with my grandchildren. They would be excited to visit and see the butterflies, birds, bees and lizards. I could not imagine life without nature …
Thank you so much Jo!! Cardinals are such great birds to photography and have in your backyard. Make sure you share this post with your friends and family!
I love this Bird blog! Yeah, Cardinals. So cool that the male is bright red and the female is dull brown to distract from notice for nesting. That sudden flash of red through the trees never fails to make my spirit soar. Thanks.
