Martesen bevers alja gweres. 

There is a climate crisis. We know that. We are seeking to know, "What can we do?" But what is the answer? According to the magazine "New Scientist", we should rewet our dried wetlands. But wetlands produce methane, and that is a greenhouse gas. True. But they also trap more carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, and that is better. Why is there drying of wetlands? Because of draining the water away for agriculture and building developments. Perhaps beavers could help.

I am not a fine poetess and my verses are not refined poetry. I would prefer to write songs, but I don't know how to compose the music. I am not a composer. It's hard to get rhymes for some words. Can I remember rhymes? I can't remember exactly. But "amusing" is a rhyme for "exactly" (more or less). "Moth" is another rhyme, but how can I use it? The picture is a peppered moth. Ma whans dhebm a scrifa neppeth didhan

She ought to come with all the flowers of the spring. They are named for the bird. There is a bluebell (cuckoo flower) with blue bells. Cuckoo plants are the same thing. Later, there will be many yellow marigolds. In May, the cuckoo should sing all day. The folksong si
