Baby animals don’t always need rescuing

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

Jerry Hall

If you find an abandoned baby bird or baby deer, what should you do?
Baby wildlife is rarely abandoned in nature, but mothers do leave babies unattended. A tiny fawn will often lie still for hours while its mother is off finding food and is certainly in no need of rescue. Conversely, if it is walking around and making noise, it may need help.
If you find a baby bird without feathers on the ground, look around and attempt to place it back in the nest it fell from. If the nest is too high, or can't be seen, make a temporary artificial nest from a plastic or wooden basket or box, layered with soft grass or leaves. Place it and the bird back in the tree.

Keep Wimberley Beautiful: Xeriscaping

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

By Martha Knies

One of the best and most beautiful examples of xeriscaping with primarily native plants is to be found at Texas Casual Cottages, located on RR12 about three miles south of The Junction and next door to Wimberley Glass Works.  Three lovely cottages sit among native beds, lush with happy plants and beautiful dramatic rocks, all linked with natural paths. Robert Moreman gave us a beautiful tour of the grounds which he said were established in 2011. A landscaper from Austin installed the beds after having cleared away most of the cedars and undergrowth which had covered the site.

The human race has overcome many obstacles in the past 5,000 years or so. The Wimberley Players’ new show is a tribute to just that. Their newest act that opened this past Friday, “The Skin of Our Teeth,” is a witty, eccentric story of the Antrobuses and their journey through time. James Brownlee directed this quirky play that incorporates humor, sadness, joy and struggle into this sometimes-confusing yet never dull production.

Ancient birds had claws and teeth

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

Jerry Hall

There was a time when birds, or at least the long-ago ancestors of birds, were not at all chirpy and cute. Forget singing a pretty song, the dinosaur ancestors of birds were more into killer claws.
One early feathered dinosaur named Sinornithosaurus may even have had a venomous bite.

Keep Wimberley Beautiful: Native Grasses for a lawn

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

By Jackie Mattice

I was shocked when I first learned that on average, in the summer, 70 percent of the water we use in Central Texas is for our landscape.  When we collect the rainwater from our roof and use it to water our landscape we are helping our aquifer by pumping significantly less water.  
Much of the landscape water usage goes to watering turf grass.  May 6 Mark Simmons, of Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, wrote an article published in the Austin American Statesman in which he advocated the use of a mixture of native grasses to replace the monoculture of non-native grasses such as St.  Augustine (from pan-tropics ) and Bermuda (from Africa).
