GOOD MORNIN' SUNSHINE...

Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella)

This picture was taken in the garden at 10:14 yesterday morning. With all the recent news about diminishing Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) populations it's very good to have so many in our garden this year. They're here in good numbers but it seems to me they arrived a bit late.

: Name: Jim; Location: of Jim and Peg's Habitat Home, High In The Mountains Of Southern California

We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well. It's our PLACE TO BE........... ***NOTICE*** Unless otherwise stated, all photos and text posted here are the copyrighted property of Jim Otterstrom, who hereby grants permission to re-print or re-publish his work, freely, for non-commercial purposes, so long as it is un-altered and credit is given.
