About Me
- Pittsburgh gardener
- 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.

Winter
So far we have had a mild winter. I had a chance to see the snow and ice cover the pond for a few days. We are almost halfway through winter here and I am hoping we will not have the same thing happen this year that happened last year. We had really warm weather from January, through March and then in April it froze all the buds and flowers that opened. I am looking forward to getting out in the yard soon so I can start growing things. My pond has been holding up nicely and I look forward to its second year. Everything took off and filled in for the first year so I am just anxious to see what happens next. We had a bit of wind a few weeks ago that knocked over one of my bird baths and it broke. I will have to replace it this spring.
