It takes 2 or three prople to handle the prints.<br />Before that, though, before it got warm, I went with an old friend to Oak Openings. I love that Park, it is one of the last remaining Temperate Savannah environments in North America. I saw how huge sections of the recently planted pines were beiong taken out and the old forest/fossil dune environment was being re established.<br />As we drove into the Park area, my friend cautioned that we could see wild turkeys if we were careful. Seconds later, we saw a flock of 12 that I could count! They melted into the landscape before our very eyes.<br /><br />I think you should check out Nunya's blog!microdothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564820031343630871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32733123.post-62723199931060229562009-05-08T22:27:00.000+02:002009-05-08T22:27:00.000+02:00Fascinating reading once again, microdot.

Your care and concern for the environment is outstanding and the fact that you are allowing a section of your property to go natural is worthy of praise.<br /><br />Perhaps you recall the pristine natural area in Lucas County Ohio called the Oak Openings- a natural area of sand and bog laid down by the receding waters of Lake Erie.<br /><br />There is a strong effort to reclaim this natural wonder [along with its wild orchids] before it has all gone to housing developments.<br /><br />One can only hope that there are enough dedicated people left to fight for nature over development.<br /><br />Enjoy your vineyard trimming time.mud_rakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786611698569598023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32733123.post-52243699941392850692009-05-08T21:01:00.000+02:002009-05-08T21:01:00.000+02:00Nunya, thanks for your comments.

I learned something, thank you :) I did not know that orchids require poor soil, nor did I know about the aphid infestation that made using American vines necessary.nunyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833886980442919570noreply@blogger.com
