About Me

My photo
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I live in the Brighton Heights Neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh PA and recently certified my yard as a wildlife habitat. please feel free to check out my Blog and I hope you enjoy it.When I first bought my property the house was in disrepair and the yard was nothing but dead grass over grown weeds and garbage. It is now a habitat that provides wildlife with the four basic requirements needed to thrive. These are food, clean water, cover from predators, and places to raise young. I have provided these in my small space and will continue to improve on these elements of my garden. I am also an artist and I get a lot of inspiration from my garden. I am fascinated with tiny houses and enjoy cooking and music. I have two adopted cats from a rescue, and I have a one eyed cat that was a stray and needed surgery so I took her in. They are all house cats so they do not tear up my wildlife habitat. They do enjoy sitting in the windows looking at the other animals that visit my yard.

May 24 2016

I have not posted here in a while I have been working everyday in the church parking lot and in my front yard. I have a lot of catching up to do as far as documenting what is going on in my wildlife habitat. I have already started seeing butterflies. I have been waiting for the monarchs and have seen my first swallowtails. My Milkweed is coming up and so is my butterfly weed. I have a lot of seeds coming up and today I got some Dame's Rocket. Pittsburghers call it wild phlox even though it is not a Phlox. It is a type of mustard plant. I got my lamp post in and have started digging for my pond.
