🌟Y'ALL🌟
We were able to recycle over 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ pounds of holiday lights this year! That means ONE TON of waste was diverted from our landfills and recycled at Commercial Metals Company instead.
We couldn't have done it without all of your help ♻️🤩 #forcefornature ... See moreSee less

Happy to drop them off to you all (and clean out our attic). Sundance grunted her appreciation. Butch looked annoyed but to be fair; it was early.
Awesome 💜
THIS is awesome!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
That’s amazing! Hate having to put them in the trash when they seem to die yearly! 🙄
Are y’all still taking the lights?

This little guy was so funny, every time I went to take a picture of him he would turn his head the other way 😂. I love these little guys ❤️
They are favorites . And we enjoy ALL of Riverbanks animals, but these little guys are totally irresistible.
Thinking about going tomorrow, hoping it will be warm enough for the animals to be out and about!
Love the meerkats!
They had me in stitches!

IMPORTANT: Only apply water to the substrate and NOT to the foliage. Watering the leaves will cause pools to accumulate and eventually crown rot which will kill your orchid.
