		<description><![CDATA[We went to check on the ladybugs by the creek.
They've spent the winter clinging to these bushes... sometimes they fall to the ground and stay in a thick mat all packed deeply.
They are like red jewels moving slowly and dripping from the leaves to the moist cool earth.
They have to move to regulate their temperatures, they move in and out of the sun which just this week started peeking into the canyon. They are starting to awaken from their [...]]]></description>

Let them feel the cool moist earth and feel the enfolding leaves above as they gently roll out onto the soft fluffy ground... give them a feeling of security so they will not be greatly frightened... you want them to start off life at your place with a feeling it is a good place for them with shelter and [...]]]></description>

The water has natural drainage swales... these people treat this ground prety good... they never allow livestock in while the ground is marshy... it is bad for the feet of the animals... and it turns the wet spots into mud wallows that don't provide any food for the animals, and keep them muddy. Their animals are rotated around different fields so they always have fresh clean grasses, and never destroy the structure of the [...]]]></description>
