Photos on Facebook...

Today's are a gift! There's one photo of my granddaughter Angela in her graduation robe, standing next to her proud husband and her 8-year-old son who's growing so fast he's almost up to her shoulders already. She's a beautiful girl, as pretty as her mother was but taller and with better bone... Sign in to see full entry.

The prediction

A man who counted himself as holier than most, who had a special connection to the powers that be, predicted the day and time that the world would end. He described the how and what, and that in His good time, the Messiah would arrive and catch up the faithful into his realm of peace and happiness.... Sign in to see full entry.

Demon squirrel

The little demon has found my flower pot. Again. Just like last year. Only last year I had a tomato, slightly protected by a growth cage. And I put a layer of landscape rocks on top to keep him from digging. He lost interest after he figured out he had never buried nuts there. This year he seemed to... Sign in to see full entry.

Porch sittin'

If you sit on the porch awhile, the bugs will find you. Skeeters and gnats, no-see-ums, etc. Coffee cup? Water bottle? Iced tea in a tall frosty glass? They find that too. Makes for a distracting read. Things buzzing and darting at you, crawling on your skin. And I was right in the middle of... Sign in to see full entry.

The backyardagain

There's a crew coming, one of these fine days, to unplant a giant pampas grass that lives by the pond. It's become too big, taken over too much territory, so I asked them to get it out of there. That's the one that attracts the flying sparrow circus each fall, as two or three of them land on a tall... Sign in to see full entry.

I can't sell the house now...

I think a redbird couple is nesting in my grape arbor. Bringing people in to inspect might disturb them. Got to thinking, between my senior citizen property tax break and the lower than rent house payments, it would be financially stupid to sell now. Where else could I find this much space for that...

Weather Breeder

It's 74 or 75 degrees already this morning, going up to 90 this afternoon. It's humid and jungly here these afternoons, like mid-July with the humidity drifting up from the Gulf of Mexico, and the heat built up from across the western deserts. Seems to me we had frost warnings a few days ago, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Good news! I was wrong!

Just returned from checking out Facebook photos of the empty nest in Florida. You can catch up by reading my earlier blog that starts out with Old Shep... And I was wrong! Things in Bird World really do work that fast. The kids are trying out their wings, their redbird parents and their human ones... Sign in to see full entry.

Old Shep is gone. He's living happily on the farm.

My Florida daughter's been photo-documenting the progress of a Cardinal family. The redbirds built a low hanging nest in a tree just outside their back fence. Low enough that she could, in the little hen's absence, hold her phone-camera up and get a pic of the nest. Soon after the construction was... Sign in to see full entry.
