Hey LinkedIn! As we dive into the warmer months and outdoor works, let's not forget our green friends, especially the sneaky ones like poison ivy! It's crucial for our crews to be plant-savvy, especially in construction zones, where encounters with these tricky plants can happen. Knowing the telltale signs of poison ivy - three leaves, shiny surface, reddish in spring, green in summer - can save us from an itchy situation! Remember, what we learn on the job also benefits us off-duty.

Lady Byrd Johnson Wildflower Center, www.wildflowers.org Particular public figures gained my attention during elementary and high school. Their purpose in liberating people and protecting the environment is a theme amoungst them. Occassionally, I support their mission. My post today is to urge a love of flowers and recognize there is ability to share Earth. I worked ten months driving past and through cities on the east coast of the United States concerned about trees and noticed not enough flowers. Trees lined some highways and country roads with few flowers. I am not suggesting we stop planting trees at all. We need trees and they need us. I stopped to photograph trees and flowers randomly on country roads and cities as well as urban and rural locations. The stop I remember continuously includes different species of bees collecting pollen from the same flower. They shared the same flower peacefully taking turns until finished collecting pollen on that one flower. And, there was enough pollen left for others to collect on this or future days while the flower created seeds. Beyond this suggestion to plant flowers is the nudge to realize we can share Earth. Cultures can live and work together if managed egoless and, of course, with a purpose to realistically, because there are ego limits, to adapt responsible behavior patterns not angry behavior responses. #LadyByrdJohnson #wildflowers #flowers #environment #sharing #Earth

Did you know that butterflies roost at night? #butterflies They don't sleep, they rest and remain in a state of inactivity. They hang upside down among the foliage. #timetorest At first light today, I witnessed these Zebra Longwing butterflies roosting in one of the Little Strongbark trees in my pollinator garden. #pollinatorgardening Oh, there are multiple garden money metaphors here: * Rest is essential. * Witness wonder daily and transform your experience of life. * Wealth is more than a number, it is a state of mind. * Observe beauty every morning and infuse it into your day. * Nature taps you into infinite intelligence.
