You are stronger than a mudslide

 

Mudslides are frightening,

They cause lots of damage and are dangerous to you.

Bits of roads gone,

Trees and rocks washed away, too.

Don’t let the wind blow you away,

Stay rooted to the ground,

You know that all are there to help you,

Make sure to help them, too.

Give kindness to them and they will help you through.

Kindness is a gift,

A gift to be given more than once,

Give it to everyone and they will give it to you.

Kindness is a gift that clears up cloudy days,

So remember to give kindness every day,

And love will follow through.

Horned larks enliven sleeping fields

December 26, 2024
Halloween is long past, but you may notice devilish figures hanging out in scrubby fields and open areas this winter: horned larks. These birds are North America’s only true lark species. They reside year-round in parts of the Northeast, such as Vermont’s Champlain Valley, but disperse across the region more widely in winter, when the…
