Co-Creating a Better World
Nature blog posts.
In the Spring of 2021 I had purchased three apple trees (1 McIntosh, 1 State Fair, and 1 Cortland), and two hazelnut bushes/trees to plant on our property. This would be the first trees, and shrubs that I would plant on our new property, and the beginnings of my forest garden! 😀 Up until then…
It’s been a while since I have made any blog posts. I will try to change that. 🙂 Last Spring I started out pretty strong as usual with way too many plans, and big ambitions. At the time, little did I know that the coming Summers extremely hot weather would bring a pause to everything.…
For those of you that know me, and read my posts. You know that I try to make everyday Earth Day! On this day though, it is a special day of celebration, and making promises. To make it a happier, healthier, and greener planet for generations to come. Make every day Earth Day! 🙂
Earlier this Spring I started the process of building a nature trail through our woods and around our pond to the other side of our property.

After many days of hard work and waiting on the weather, I am happy to announce that the first segment of the main trail is now complete! In case you missed it! I wrote a blog article about Scouting, and Planning The Main Trail a couple weeks ago. It might be a good idea to…

I awoke the other day to light definitive swaths of green scattered across the landscape. It was such a welcoming sight to see! Little green leaves popping out of every…
Our property is about 10 acres in size, and about 7 to 7 1/2 acres of it is woods, wild grasses, wild flowers, and some marsh area, with a large natural pond in the middle of it. I guess it could be best described right now as a savanna. There are many native wild edibles…
Spring has sprung! As the earth gets closer to the sun, the great greening has just begun! This is what I love about springtime. Yesterday I was walking through my backyard evaluating the amount of spring cleanup needed this year (a lot). As I was walking I was looking down at the ground for signs…
