Looking to make your garden more eco-friendly? One simple tip… Leave flower skeletons like, black-eyed Susans, and goldenrod standing through the winter. These seed heads are a vital food source for birds, helping them survive the colder months. Plus, they add unique beauty to your garden in frost!

I love winter ❄️, but sometimes it’s best to bring nature to your window instead of venturing into the cold 😂

Found more invasive Japanese honeysuckle in our local park. Strange to know how much I used to love these when I was kid and to feel such annoyance now 🧐. Winter is a great time to spot several invasive vines, English ivy included.

The sounds of nature.
