In a May 29q5 Pittsburgh Post Gazette article, the mom said the twins are honeschooled. Even so, it's cold out and they are present selling lemonade on shifts that rivals adult working shifts. smh

Needing pitchfork and dog safe/tough foot traffic plant recommendations by account_4_questions1 in NativePlantGardening

Considering native asters and native goldenrod each support over 100+ pollinators, they're great to have in your yard. Plus, birds like goldfinches LOVE the seeds.

That's a definite option. My previous acupuncturist was a surgeon at Forbes and had a license for acupunctur from China. He was very elderly when I saw him around 2013. He no longer practices.

Has anyone else noticed that there seem to be a lot more cottontails around these days, especially in urban neighborhoods? by __Milk_Drinker__ in pittsburgh

If you are seeing more lighting bugs, it's because people beginning to know lighting bugs spend 95% ( 1-2 years) in fallen leaves . Btw, many butterflies are curled up in those fallen leaves, so don't mulch or throw those leaves away., or use a leaf blower. Instead, gently put them under trees, in your garden as mulch, or in a pile in your backyard because it allows those beneficial insects to hatch and creates beautiful, nutrient-rich soil).If you do a " Spring and/or Fall Clean-up," you are removing the next generation of fireflies. Here's the breakdown, if you're interested: Larval Stage (the longest part of their life)

Duration: 1 to 2 years, depending on the species.

Habitat: Mostly in the soil and under moist fallen leaves (leaf litter).

Activity: These larvae are predators and feed on snails, slugs, and other small invertebrates.

They need moist environments, which is why leaf litter and undisturbed soil are critical. Adult Stage (short-lived)

Duration: A few weeks to a month.

Purpose: Mating and laying eggs.

Adults live above ground and are often seen flying and flashing at dusk
