Help Preserve- Heard Wildlife Sanctuary - please read PETITION
The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary is an asset to North Texas, Texas and to keeping our country GREEN!!!
We need to ban together to show big business that they cannot literally bull doze our natural resources (soon we will have few or none left in the United States and across the world). Big businesses need to know that the all mighty dollar will not help them after they have killed all the birds and wildlife, cut down precious trees, contaminated fresh water sources all so they can run some more water lines and make more money for them selves. I guarantee they are not donating the extra profits made from damaging our natural resources to rebuilding them. The fat cats at the top are taking extra vacations or buying new cars......okay enough of my rant!
The North Texas Municipal Water district is suing the Heard for eminent domain. They want to put a 3,500 foot long, 42 inch diameter sewage line through the sanctuary prairie land and underneath the wetlands. They would also impact land of a total of 110 feet wide along the length of the 3,500 foot sewage line for accommodation of construction vehicles.
Please read the article posted on Heard's website and consider signing the petition.

Twins with dinosaurs at Heard Museum
Mary "acting" with the dinosaur. What is really funny about the video, is not Mary's acting but how in the corner of the camera you can see Maddie running up to Poppy to tell him that she has figured out how they "the engineers" make the dinosaurs have sound. She is so wicked smart.

Animal & Nature Photos from Heard Museum
Wild flowers in the parking lot.
Cool pods growing on a tree in the garden.
Huge old tree- There are so many beautiful trees, you could spend all day taking photos of them.
Leaf that turned color- you do not see much of that here in Texas.
Snake on exhibit- it is behind glass.
Huge spider- also behind glass.
Tiny-tiny babies- had to zoom in to get the photo. They were just darling to watch.
Heard Nature Trails Dinosaurs Alive Exhibit
The Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas has life-sized animatronic dinosaurs along Heard's nature trails (ends January 31). What a fun place! You can casually (depending on how many kids you are watching) walk through the trails, visit the garden and butterfly exhibit, animals of the world all outside. Inside there are wonderful exhibits.
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Love this photo- Mary, Maddie and I are sitting on the dinosaur with this little boy bent over looking into its mouth. He was a bit nervous and trying to figure it all out.
Me and Mary
Mary showing off to see who's mouth is bigger....Hummmm?
Mary and Maddie climbing on a dinosaur tail
Allosaurus- this was the first one on the trail. It caught Mary off guard when it moved and made noise.
My, what big teeth you have.

They had a blast trick-or-treating with dad. We were so grateful that the girls could go there and have fun.
Drew, Randy and I stayed home at our house to pass out candy and watch movies. It turned into EAT candy and watch movies...we did not have even one trick or treater this year...Man do we have a lot of candy to eat!!! Not the best time for our dentist to close his practice and join the military.
Boo Bash in Wylie at Eerie Books
Mary passing out candy and waiving to all the kids. Maddie showing off her new glow in the dark green teeth and eating lots of candy.
Mary hoping the party will start soon- we had about 8,000 kids come by before the night was over and Mary talked to every single one of them.

Organic Flowers In Lucas Texas- Finally have a name
Shortly after moving into our house, Drew and I found some seed packages on clearance and picked them up.
We have been taking photos of the wild flowers growing in our flower beds. They were from a wildflower "mix". Yesterday the Wildseed Farms catalog Arrived- sure enough all our flowers were in there.

Favorite technique postcards
Favorite Technique postcards for Postmarked Art Round 9
I made about 20 of these postcards during a retreat in the spring. These were from an article in a magazine where you make an art quilt by layering 3-4 fabrics and then cut away at the layers to reveal what is under. It was a lot of fun. I made quite a large piece then cut it down to make a few book pages and series of postcards. Would recommend using a few layers of tulle or other fiber to add some interest.
