After 40 years of extinction in the wild, something incredible just happened in the forests of Guam. A tiny blue egg appeared in a nest, and scientists are calling it a miracle. This is the comeback story that proves hope never dies, even when a species hangs by a thread thousands of miles from home.

North America is home to an amazing mix of butterflies and caterpillars 🦋🌿 From monarchs to painted ladies, each one helps pollinate plants while filling our gardens with color and life. When you grow plants they love, you don’t just get beauty—you help keep these tiny pollinators thriving. [LDHtf]

🌿 An herb spiral turns a small patch of ground into multiple growing zones.
One compact bed creates dry, warm areas and cooler, moist pockets — all in reach.

PLANTING LAYOUT:
• Top = sunniest, driest zone (rosemary, thyme, lavender)
• Base = cooler, moisture-rich zone (mint, parsley, lemon balm)
• Southwest slope for heat-lovers
• Northeast side stays shaded and humid

METHOD:
• Mark a spiral shape directly on bare ground
• Stack natural stone from the outside inward
• Gradually increase height toward the center
• Backfill with soil as you build to prevent settling
• Firm soil gently so the structure stays stable

GROWING NOTES:
• Space plants for airflow and easy harvesting
• Mulch lightly to control moisture
• Water less than flat beds — drainage does the work
• Heats up earlier in spring than ground-level beds

Herb spirals save space, reduce watering, and increase harvest variety.
They grow food efficiently while adding structure to the garden.

The first Full Moon of 2026 is also a Supermoon! 🌕️ January’s Full Wolf Moon reaches peak illumination on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at 5:04am EST. Because it is a Supermoon—occurring when the Moon is at perigee, its closest point to Earth—it will appear noticeably larger and brighter than a typical full Moon. Look for the January Moon to rise from the eastern horizon around sunset that evening. By midnight, the Wolf Moon glows bright and round overhead. By sunrise, it will disappear into the western horizon.

It’s thought that January’s Full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this time. It was traditionally believed that wolves howled due to hunger during winter, but we know today that isn’t accurate. Howling and other wolf vocalizations are heard in the wintertime to locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, define territory, and coordinate hunting.

Other traditional names for the January Moon emphasize the harsh coldness of the season: Cold Moon (Cree), Frost Exploding Moon (Cree), Freeze Up Moon (Algonquin), and Severe Moon (Dakota). Hard Moon (Dakota) highlights the phenomenon of the fallen snow developing a hard crust.
