The Birth and Re-birth of Two Trees Part 1
Creation of the Nature Council

My roommate found a tree growing out in the yard the other day and I seen for the first time the beginning life of a walnut tree. I admit if I had been mowing I wouldn't have noticed it. So before he transplanted it to a large container for safe keeping I took a few photos. He'll let it mature more before finding a place on the land for it.
We've all been working hard on clearing the land in the back of the property. It's looking better everyday and is good exercise, for the body and the mind.
It's over grown with weeds, grass, small trees and tons of things like old fences, wire, barrels, wood and the things you'd find on an old farm.
There's a large tree near the center that suffered heavy damage during a storm(tornado I think) from a few years back. This was a BIG tree ...grand, had to be beautiful ..every time I had seen it I thought about it in it's glory days..
It had a lot of damage, it was dead. As we worked our way back to it we knew it'd be a task to get it cut up. We cut up a great deal for firewood and stacked it by the barn. It got down to the massive trunk...what to do.
We decided to cut it up and use the once grand tree for tree stump seats!(4th Photo) We got six good sized sections out and after cleaning up the surrounding area the roomie placed the new tree seats around the old stump.
A Nature Council:)
He threw out some grass seed and watered the area down. It's been really dry here so I hope it takes.
I love it. The whole area will be a great place to relax..meditate..just be. There are smaller trees to cut down, also damaged in the same big storm. Two were cut today, one about 4 feet high the other close to 6 feet high. The plan is to put bird feeders/water's on the shorter ones to due other animals, and the taller ones birdhouse, hopefully being higher and a little more safer. A great way to bring the bird friends back to these trees.
As I sat today to think about the work that had been done I thought about these two trees. The new tree and the old tree. My roommate estimates the old tree to be about 60 years old. New life in the little walnut and a rebirth for an old, grand tree that most people wouldn't have cared about. And old tree that might have been cut down and forgotten is now the center of activity, a focal point.
I simply love that.

The Birth and Re-birth of Two Trees Part 2
The Nature Council continues..

It's been more than a year since we cut down that massive old tree on the back part of the land. We've also managed to remove the remnants of old farm buildings, an old burned barn, the foundation of a chicken coup among clearing more farmland junk such as barrels, metal and fencing. The grass seed took and it's now a nice carpet of green grass! That tree may have gotten destroyed in a storm long ago, but it has new life for us as the Nature Council!
It's a quiet place to go sit and enjoy nature, listen to the birds or meditate. It's lit up at night by surrounding solar lights. It's a favorite spot amongst the family and friends.
Now.. I love it even more.

March of the Penguins documents a year in the life of Emperor penguins and is an amazing insight to the penguin and its habitat! I recommend them both to animal and nature fans!

Environmental T-Shirts and Gifts
Make a statement, Make a difference!
One of the most controversial topics of the last few years has been the environment. People usually fall on one side or the other, those who think it's a natural occurrence in the earths life cycle and those who think man has greatly contributed to global warming. I fall into the group that thinks although it's a natural cycle, man has GREATLY influenced the current conditions affection the world. Many people are very passionate about it, for or against it being a result of mankind and it's industrial advancement. I think it's a good thing to discuss it no matter what you believe.
One opinion of mine that I'd like to make is this: regardless of what you think is the cause of global warming, taking even the simplest of steps to help reduce your carbon footprint, recycling and reusing anything you can, doing your best to help lower your energy needs and costs is a responsibility of every person. There are many things we all could to help the climate conditions NOW, so that the future generations can enjoy the same things we do LATER. Just do a web search and you'll find tons of information available on the internet.
That message is the idea behind the highlighted design, Treat The Earth Well. It's an old saying/proverb that states: Treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. It features an adult hand holding the earth and the tiny feet of a baby are seen, both are connected ..we should treat both with love, compassion and understanding. It's a design that makes a statement, to mankind and our environment. Please take care of the Earth so our children and grandchildren can enjoy it also.
I'm showcasing some of my favorite environmental designs from the Nature Wear shop:







Meet Noah
The little kitty that stole my heart
Noah came into our lives about a year ago. We're not sure what happened, if he got lost somehow or was thrown out ..we'll never know how or where his life was began but we know when he came to us he was in really bad shape. A family member brought him to us and in the beginning we didn't expect him to make it. I don't think he was old enough to be away from momma cat.
He was small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. He was weak and he'd shake a lot. He had patches of fur missing all over his body. There was at least one small chunk of ear missing and it looked like portions of his nose had been scraped off. You can see in the first photo it looked like he had swallowed a small ball, his little tummy was so swollen! He was in bad shape.
Since I have the only bedroom downstairs he stayed in my room for the first few weeks. Everyone fell in love with him, we loved him, cared for him and nursed him back to health. It was my roommate that named him Noah. Everyday he'd grow stronger and healthier. I think it was the fact that I was the one in the room the most with him and I've heard young animals and kids will bond with the one around them when they are young. Since I work at home I'm with him everyday. When he got strong enough to jump he'd run at me, jump up on my chair and sit on my shoulder while I worked. His scrapes, cuts, fur, nose, ear and everything else has healed nicely. The only thing is when he meows it doesn't quite sound normal. Maybe his kitty voice was damaged during his rough start.
A year later and he has some of the softest, shiniest and healthiest looking fur I've seen on a cat. At times he's like a little puppy, following me all over the house, even to the bathroom! My friends and family joke that he 'adopted' me. They joke and call me Noah's Daddy. I joke and call him my puppy! It's apparent that he knows how lucky he is. He is SO loving and affectionate. Before Noah came along I considered myself a dog person. Cats were ok...but I have always loved dogs more. I just felt dogs were more loving and interactive. It wasn't until Noah came that I realized how loving an animal can be.
Everyone is protective of him. This summer while out playing he ran though some weeds in the grassy field next to us and got a sliver of weed stuck in his eye. We were horrified! Off to the vet we went! The vet pulled out the weed and gave us ointment for his eye. He's ok and today has fully recovered! We watch him close because he's had such a rough start to life and then nearly poked out his eye while playing in the field ...poor guy!
Today, other then his wispy meow he's healthy and so incredibly loving that I light up with joy when he runs into my room in the morning. Noah is a cuddler..so much I close my door at night when I go to bed. If he's in the room with my he will literally sleep on my face! He's a cat that has to touch you, he is constantly is reaching out his little paw when he touches, as if he wants to pull you closer to him. Everyday, and I mean every single day of his life: I tell him how much I love him. How grateful I am for his love and affection. He is so loving, so happy, so content... never in my dreams had I thought that it'd be a cat that would bring so much love and joy to me.
You ever have a pet that you knew you'd never give up? Like if you were to move and the house or apartment wouldn't allow cats that you'd find a place that did simply because you're not giving up your pet for anyone or anything? Noah is that kind of pet. He's family! He has grown too big to sit on my shoulder any more, but everyday at some point he's in my lap or laying across my desk while I work. This cat is truly a wonder. A gift from above. I love him and cherish him so much that it breaks my heart to ever think of a life without him.
This is Noah. He's the little kitty that stole my heart.

Dog versus Cat Lovers Poll
Between dogs and cats, which is your favorite?
This lens is about all animals, wild and domestic. Any animal lover is going to love and respect any animal, but I thought it'd be fun to have a head to head poll between cats and dogs!
I love them both, I had a wonderful black cocker spaniel years ago named Sammy. Today we have three cats in the family that are dearly loved. For the sake of this poll pick your favorite! Is it dogs or is it cats?
