Next Year's Nifty Idea For Halloween - Never to Late to Help a Child!

Check with your local churches, pre-schools and elementary schools next year - I just discovered that there are lots of children who's families have difficult financial situations and one of the rippling effects is that they cannot afford Halloween costumes. If you're at a yard sale or church rummage sale and see something cute and in good condition, think ahead, pick it up and set it aside for someone in need. It will make you feel soooo good. Please consider donating costumes and other decorative accessories useful for awesome outfits wherever the need may be in your neighborhood.

Fawns - cute as can be - leave them alone!

Did you know that mother deer leave their fawns alone most of the day so other animals do not detect their mother's scent - if you come across one - leave it alone! You can find more information on deer and other wild animal rescue on wwww.wildliferescueinc.org or call Wildlife Rescue Inc. in Hampstead, MD at (443) 507-0950. There are special formulas to nurture wild animals to enable them to survive their fragile condition upon arrival. A friend of mine and a neighbor discovered a newborn fawn in her wooded yard but wisely monitored him until they discovered his mom had been accidentally killed in the area. Wildlife Rescue was contacted and when they arrived they carefully packed up the little guy and took him to his new home. Currently, they have 28 fawns being fed every 4 hours. When strong enough, they will be released on surrounding farms. The farm owners have a "no hunting" policy.
