Retta and I have been reading a book on replacing habitat loss in our own yards. We decided to change our birdbath into a more natural setting. We planted three different types of aquatic plants and transplanted some moss from our yard. We then added some rocks and shells from Retta's collection.
It turned out so beautiful. As soon as we finished we noticed some American Goldfinches taking a bath!
We both agreed it is a good feeling to help nature.
Retta also added a pot of hanging flowers to her butterfly garden. She was very particular about the type and color of flowers she wanted and after an hour of shopping she finally settled on some multi-colored impatients, then she had to pick out a pot.........
We also added some herbs. We planted lemon thyme, thyme, rosemary and some lemon verbena for Anna.

THAT LOOKS SO NICE YOURALLY DID A GOOD JOB
Would you mind sending me the name of the book? It sounds like something we would love. We have deliberately provided a lot of habitat in our yard. The kids want to be certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Backyard WIldlife Habitat.
