Welcome to Litsy!

Here‘s my review for this book I just finished reading. This was the April book for the #naturalitsy buddy read. I‘m 3 months behind on the buddy read because I haven‘t read the May, June, July books but I‘ve now read the April book. This book was short which is great for me. I don‘t think I‘ll get around to reading the August book because it‘s taking me a long time to read these books for the buddy read.

A faint smear of rosy brightness hangs out in the west- a September haar, sea mist reflecting the sunrise.

I‘ve read the first 3 books on the list but now, I‘m 4 months behind on the #naturalitsy buddy read. I haven‘t had time to read the Apr, May,June,July books. The Land Of Little Rain wouldn‘t take me that long to read. The audiobook for that book is only 3 hours. Will I catch up? I hope so.

It is worth monitoring the chain of animal reactions when moving across remote areas. Some animals are notoriously fast at reacting and the slightly slower animals use them as a cue--mammals such as deer and rabbits will take flight shortly after birds have taken to the air.

What a little gem of a book. This is all about milkweed which provides food and shelter for the monarch butterfly but also many other species. The illustrations in this book are lovely and the accompanying text focuses on where this plant grows, its structure, diseases of the plant, the many insects found on and around it, and the story of a farm in California bringing back a native prairie. PS I currently have 7 chrysalises thanks to this plant!
