I love to watch the blue jays and cardinal's antics as they dart and dash at one another, their squawks of protest filling the air, when they quarrel over the sunflower seeds. In winter, they visit our feeder and the squirrels come up onto the verandah to collect peanuts that we put out for them. My flower garden isn't doing well this summer because of record rainfall, but I did have some magnificent Oriental poppy and clematis blooms. Even though few flowers are blooming at present, I have the most beautiful garden of all. As I watch them, I am overcome with the majestic beauty of our earth and all that we have been blessed with.
Litter kills our wildlife.
We must preserve it for future generations. As I watch the wild creatures in my garden, I think of the many creatures on Earth that are on the Endangered Species List. How bleak our world would be without these magnificent animals. The responsibility starts with each and every one of us to ensure there is always a place for them on our planet.
