Maybe I'm not surrounded by obvious nature, but my community also wasn't recently built on the backs of native organisms.<BR/><BR/>Much of my local fauna aren't native to this area—were rats Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433254398377357737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-1136348393028670952006-01-04T07:49:00.000+03:302006-01-04T07:49:00.000+03:30Just this afternoon, when walking to Peanut's scho...Just this afternoon, when walking to Peanut's school door, I heard chittering overhead in the (maple?) trees and low and behold, 3 squirrels were chasing each other amongst the leafless branches. They make it look so darn easy!<BR/><BR/>We have magnolia trees all over the place here and there are 2 big ones in front of Peanut's school.

My yard is full of deer crap and my husband is outside right now pulling in the garbage cans so the bears don't get into them <I>again</I>. But do I appreciate it? No. I blog about how great malls are.
