A couple of days ago

when I was hanging my laundry in the crisp cold air; a HUGE flock of redwing blackbirds and starlings flew over my head. There were hundreds of the beasties.
It took me a moment to remember that I had my cell phone with me and by this time they had broken up into groups. One group was in the pecan tree by the garage; the other group in the pecan tree in the pasture.
So, I took a couple of short videos.

By the garage.



In the pasture.



We had a quiet, if quite cold, Thanksgiving.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

People miss the point.

They play President Kennedy's speech with no understanding of what he said or what he meant.

Not saying any more.
Have a blessed weekend. ♥

Next to last Wednesday of the month.

I was going to complain, but really, how can I when we are so blessed?
So instead, I will post a picture I took a few days ago.

This is the second Monarch butterfly I've found on the ground like this. It wasn't dead. I watched it slowly moving it's wings occasionally.
No milkweed around here for laying eggs on. Guess it was just stopping by.

Before we know it the year will be over! Hope you're all doing well. ♥

A few days ago

While I was out picking pecans, I took a few pictures. [Yes, I know, I'm slow with posting. ;-)]

A completely shelled pecan, with a tiny nibble? This is actually the second one I've found. Would a squirrel go to all this trouble and then not eat the pecan???

Sun dog. :-)

Sunset.

Have a blessed weekend. ♥

The flying rats. ;-)

Sorry for the quality of the video, I took it on my cell phone while picking pecans. Picked 205 pounds so far.
Have a blessed Sunday. ♥

Just a few photos to let you know I'm still here.

Flying rats Starlings. Just a few of the hundreds that are around here right now. If I can remember how I did it, I'll try to post a video I made with my phone while picking pecans.

Not sure just what these are. Some sort of little wild daisy? There were little bees feeding on them, but I wasn't quick enough to be able to get a photo of them.

There are a lot of... mushroom colonies (?) like this around, where they just grow in a clump like this. Curious and no clue what it means.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
