It's International Dark Sky Week! (April 21-28)
Look up into the night sky. How many stars can you see? Light pollution continues to grow at an alarming rate, doubling every eight years, taking away our view of the stars while harming human health and critical wildlife habitat.
Light pollution causes harm to animals in many ways:
🐦 Birds that migrate or hunt at night navigate by moonlight and starlight. Artificial light can cause them to wander off course and toward the dangerous nighttime landscapes of cities.
🦋 When exposed to nocturnal light, migrating monarch butterflies will flit and flutter when they should be resting, and the next day, they appear to be disoriented from their migration route.
🦇 Artificial light can expose animals like little brown bats, who use the dark as a cover from predators.

"If a late frost hits and knocks back early blooms, pollinators can suffer. If insects emerge too early — or too late — migrating birds might miss their window to refuel as they make their way to their final destinations. It’s all part of a delicate rhythm that’s been fine-tuned over centuries."

Good morning from the Nebraska Sandhills ~
I'm enjoying this photo of yesterday's sunrise at the ranch, since today the wind is already kiting along before the sun is up. It has been a windy spring here, and calm moments are worth stopping and appreciating.
Whether calm or not, I rest in the assurance of hope rising with the sun each day. Another day begins—steady, honest, and full of promise.

When bees emerge in the early spring, they’re hungry and there’s very little for them to forage. Planting flowers that attract bees and bloom in early spring will help the bees get off to a good start. backyardbeekeeping.iamcountryside.com/plants-pollination/growing-early-flowering-plants-for-bees/

A fun cut to talk about is the Flat Iron Steak. Researchers at Nebraska and Colorado State studied tenderness in beef muscles and discovered that a cut in the chuck was very tender. Second only to the tenderloin muscle. After creating a new way to cut steaks from the Top Blade, removing the connective tissue, the Flat Iron steak was born. They have become a very popular steak to choose for tenderness and flavor.

Today we honor the night shift.
While you're asleep, bats are out here working overtime, pollinating plants, eating pests, and quietly saving the U.S. economy billions of dollars a year. That's right. Billions. With a "B."
Agricultural pests like moths, beetles, and leafhoppers are a deliciuos food source for bats. Without bats, farmers would need more pesticides, crops would suffer, and prices would spike. So next time you enjoy a bowl of guacamole, a bushel of peaches, or literally any food that didn't get chewed on by bugs, thank a bat.
