LAKE OSWEGO'S SMALL SANCTUARY OF LOVE

There is a place in our neighborhood, so carefully tended by a man that lives on Evergreen Street. It is such an amazing sight to behold, with art, fruit trees, which anyone can pick, eat and enjoy. The tree so lovingly carved with symbols of love and healing peace. The birds treat this place as a small sanctuary, as they flutter in singing their joyful song of appreciation.

I encourage everyone that lives in Lake Oswego to take a walk to this place, I promise you will be in awe of the love that went into creating this small, loving space. ~ Holly

IRON HOUSE MASON BEE PROJECT




So Many Creative Bee Homes For Our Mason Bees


We should start seeing our Mason Bee Project at Iron House come to fruition soon. Our lovely little native bees, the Mason Bee, play a very important role in the balance of nature in Oregon. We love these little babies, so nondescript that they may go unnoticed by many people, or mistaken for something other than a bee. 

Iron House,along with our residents built an assortment of Mason Bee Houses, now we wait... to see if they liked their new homes enough to take up residence. The key is to attach them to a place at least three feet from the ground , and face the openings toward the east.
I believe we will find that these little bee beauties love us as much as we love them....
 For the love of bees....Holly
