Plant at least three different types of flowers in your bee garden to ensure blooms through as many seasons as possible. Select single flower tops. Multiple tops look great, but produce less nectar. You need only a small plot of land. Avoid using herbicides or pesticides in the bee garden.
If the sun were just a little bit bigger or the moon a bit farther away, total solar eclipses may never occur. But they do, and it turns out this celestial phenomenon that has changed human history, and our perspective of the universe, may be a sheer coincidence. So until 2024, REMEMBER: Looking directly at the sun, even when it is partially covered by the moon, can cause serious eye damage or blindness. NEVER look at a partial solar eclipse without proper eye protection.

It strikes me that all our knowledge about the structure of our Earth is very much like what an old hen would know of the hundred-acre field in a corner of which she is scratching.

Back in Plymouth MA, Nelson Park, again for more Osprey viewing. Great day too. One image below shows a Banded Osprey. Click to enlarge. The images were pushing the distance on my lens, so the quality is somewhat missing. There is enough stress in our environment without me adding to it. And of course, Chloe and I last weekend. Chloe will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about our Environment, then on the way home, she will write a narrative on our adventure. Oh, did I tell you, she is only 8 years old.
