I love house plants. My most recent success is with African Violets. I learned this winter not cut the flower stems all the way down when the blooms die, and to instead cut right below the dead flower where stem has dried. New flower shoots come off the old stems! I have to be careful not to overwater and I need to learn more about correct plat food/vitamins.

We visit state and national parks whenever we're near if on driving trip. A short but helpful resource can be found at nps.gov for those new or as a reminder, or the park's website.

We remind grandkids not to disrupt or move young wildlife and only take pictures from a distance and teach them that if they would think an animal is injured call the rangers, not to move just because they are alone - their momma's may just be out and about.
