Ramblings

[mrdutton]

RAMBLING ONE: This coming Saturday, the city of Norfolk will be celebrating cinco de Mayo with a big bash at the town park (on the shores of the Elizabeth River) and other events.

Many people think that this day in Mexican history marks the Independence Day for Mexico. This is simply not true.

Check the following website for some interesting information:

RAMBLING TWO: I recently applied to the National Wildlife Federation to have my yard certified as a "Backyard Wildlife Habitat". I filled out the two page application, added an hand rendered drawing showing my landscape plan and included 37 color photographs to document my landscape. I sure hope they agree and award the certification. Presently there are only about 28,000 or so places so certified. Check out this web site:

Rambling one I found interesting. Rambling two is something I will be quite proud of, if it happens.
