Exciting, but busy

Busy, pretty much sums up the last few days and the days to come.
Wednesday marked the creation of the “Inside Outside With Kelly Marie” Facebook group, and in only a couple of days it has gained support. It didn’t take long for a Facebook member to join a discussion, and leave an excellent comment on his thoughts about the state of the environment. It was a thrilling experience not only to see that someone else is concerned with similar issues, but that they took the time to join and leave a comment on my group. It was also a great encouragement, and boosted my enthusiasm towards the biggest weekend ahead.
This weekend will be spent researching and conducting interviews that could potentially become articles.
Of all the potential stories, there are two that could become very interesting articles.
One story requires me to visit Presqu’ile Provincial Park. This weekend is not only their opening weekend, but the weekend for the Warblers and Whimbrels Event. The event will hold various activities for experienced and beginner birders, as well as a tagging demonstration.
The other story that is being researched is in response to the pesticide ban and what types of “biopesticides” people can use now. Hopefully, there will be some interesting and unique ideas and suggestions on natural pest control.
An alternative that was already suggested and is being used is breeding praying mantis. Apparently, you can purchase a pod of fertilized eggs, and release them in your garden when they hatch. A mantis pod is similar to a spiders egg sack, where there it has the potential to hold hundreds of eggs. The mantis will live on your plants and shrubs and feed on the insects that can cause them harm.
It is safe to say that despite the business of the next few days, they will be very interesting... if not exciting.
