How to Host Hummingbirds on Your Lawn
Among the smallest birds, these tiny creatures can only be measured in centimeters, but America’s fascination with them only grows. And for good reason!

Giving Thanks for Thanksgiving Traditions
Every 4th Thursday of November, families wake up to traditions that have been enriched by each generation. From trekking out at dawn to search for that elusive buck you’ve been eyeing for years to trekking into the living room guided by the smells of herbed turkey and the sounds of the announcers describing the balloons floating in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Maybe you immediately strap on your old cleats to beat your brother in the annual Fairway Lawns flag football. Maybe you dust off your workout pants to stretch for Black Friday shopping.
