Ready to haul out the rake or leaf blower? Resist the temptation. Leaf litter in the forest or your yard has important benefits for critters - insects, small vertebrates, fungi, and others - and for soil nutrient cycles. Leave them in place, put them in out-of-the-way piles, or compost them.

Happy birthday!!

I'm glad your parents are evacuating, so sorry about everything else

"Dang that got me good" but (sorry) mostly about people and not animals. Bambi just made me mad

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. Thinking of you & your family! 💜💜💜

That's very fair

I finally managed to grow some!
