We are most sensitive about water conservation. A friend of mine just told me she saves all the water that goes down the drain when you are waiting for hot water to use on her plants. What a great idea (if you have a bucket available in the shower!). It made me start to think about the value of having an Aqua Hot system in the motorhome. When we first decided to purchase a motorhome, I felt very guilty about the fuel use, but if you don't have a sticks and bricks home, your footprint is pretty small. If anyone is curious, you can measure your carbon footprint at the Nature Conservancy website: http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/<br /><br />Never have seen a scrub jay. You amaze me at how much wildlife you encounter that I probably would not have been aware enough to see. Good lesson in opening one's eyes to the miracles around you.Big EZ Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042182363320148353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-80794083826498981602014-03-06T17:52:05.319-05:002014-03-06T17:52:05.319-05:00We have Scrub Jay's at Wickham Park in Melbour...We have Scrub Jay's at Wickham Park in Melbourne FL...<br />but I have only seen one...feel lucky to have seen that one..GEOCACHING WITH GRAMMY AND THE PAPILLON PRINCESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318355690220894430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-26270631751043033082014-03-06T10:39:15.131-05:002014-03-06T10:39:15.131-05:0025 gallons to wash a dog.

I think that's what retirement was meant to be. It's the time of life when you know yourself and your mate better than ever before, and in my opinion, the most precious of all years because you are so comfortable. To have other couples enjoying the same is wonderful. I'm so happy for you and David.<br /> Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371157074687319596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-83043125628890058152014-03-05T23:33:11.920-05:002014-03-05T23:33:11.920-05:00I'm afraid there are many important features l...I'm afraid there are many important features lost to development, at the expense of the habitat and creatures who live there. It's sad, because often we don't know until it's past saving.

I too loved the Lyonia Preserve and their great environmental education exhibits. I am glad to know they also are actively engaging with the city and the community and the children of the area through numerous camp offerings throughout the year. Unfortunately it is land developers of both commercial and residential properties who need to visit which is unlikely. Maybe the city can make meaningful changes in building codes.
