And the concept of the microclimate is, as you all suggests, confirmation that even small changes lead to big ones.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-70025168709382934792007-07-18T05:25:00.000-07:002007-07-18T05:25:00.000-07:00I agree with both of you.

You can draw different birds, butterflys, etc. by what you put in feeders and what type of flowers or greenery you add!

This is also true of the gigantic pool - gigantic may even be an understatement - near our home that when filled has created a completely different micro-climate in our barrio (neighborhood). I love this post and believe we do tend to disconnect from our small world, never quite seeing the interconnection of all things.

What a great way to see the connections between where you live and the grapes you love.<BR/><BR/>If you want to create your own micro-climate, add a large rock or small hill to your yard. Even that "small" change will cause a micro-climate in your yard as different amounts of sunlight, moisture and wind will be caused.Orion Slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638671012109650988noreply@blogger.com
