The Tulip Poplar in my yard is blooming and the bees are buzzing! Our grown son planted this tree when he was in fourth grade. It did not bloom for several years. Now, it provides great habitat for bluebirds and insects. We enjoy the sights, sounds and shade the tree offers.

Next week I'm helping a few Boy Scouts plant some pine and cypress trees on their schoolyard for others to enjoy.

Find time to take children outside and enjoy the nature around you.
