I highly recommend the Merlin app for bird identification!

“There’s no question that being in nature is good for wellbeing. Research shows that experiencing nature and listening to natural sounds can relax us.

Nature has its own little team of heroes. The honeybee — a tiny worker making golden honey and building the sweetness of life. The fluffy bumblebee — a gentle soul dancing from flower to flower, keeping our world blooming and alive. And the wasp — the fierce guardian of balance, controlling pests and protecting nature in its own bold way.
‎Different personalities, different roles, yet all are essential for the harmony of our ecosystem. Next time you see one, don’t just fear — appreciate the silent work they do for our planet, our food, and our future. Nature doesn’t need applause, but it surely deserves respect.

In light of the weekly precipitation we've been getting it's important to remember not to work your soil in preparation for planting if it's too wet.
Squeeze a handful of soil. It should form a ball that will crumble easily. If it's sticky, allow the soil to dry further before tilling or spading.
Spring is just around the corner!
