Item Description


Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience”.  It’s an apt quote for today.  So why not bid on this peaceful package?

 

Included is this beautifully illustrated hard cover book title The National Park, America's Best Idea - An Illustrated History by Dayton Duncan and Ken Burns. America’s national parks spring from an idea as radical as the Declaration of Independence: that the nation’s most magnificent and sacred places should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone. In this evocative and lavishly illustrated narrative, Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan delve into the history of the park idea, from the first sighting by white men in 1851 through the most recent additions to a system that now encompasses nearly four hundred sites and 84 million acres.

When your eyes tire you can glance out the window and watch the birds feed on your Droll Yankee Flipper. You’ll flip off those pesky squirrels with the Yankee Flipper bird feeder by Droll Yankees - makers of The World’s Best Bird Feeders! The Flipper holds 5 pounds of songbirds’ favorite seed and has a weight-sensitive perch ring that lets them eat in peace. But when it detects the weight of a squirrel the ring sends it flying with a motorized flipping action. So your bird feeder doesn’t turn into a rodent feeder. And it’s fun to watch! This Droll Yankees’ Yankee Flipper also comes with a cleaning brush.
