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.

Wildlife Habitat Recovery

As I posted earlier my wildlife habitat has been vandalized. I was told not to clean anything up until the police took crime scene photos. By the time that happened all the water lilies that were pulled from the pond were completely dried up and looked dead. My cat tails and pickerel weed were the same way. I re potted everything and will wait to see if anything comes back. I have been so upset and depressed about this and have not been spending any time out in the yard or at the pond. I still keep finding dead fish on my back steps. I put up security cameras and signs to try to stop these punks from entering my yard again. I have also put alarms on all of my doors and windows so if they try to come back into the house I will know it.
