Howdee all,
It was a bit scary yesterday here in NC with all the storms going thru.
I was alone, Jeff was in Boston, My Sicksta and her husband were at work. I was watching the weather radar and saw the storms approaching…I took my prized possessions, Cameras, computer, binoculars and my Cat from our homey and went next door to the house.
The plan was to pile into the bathroom with the two dogs and cat if the radar looked ominous. I watched the radar for a few hours and turned on my weather radio. It was pretty ugly on the radar..but luckily nothing but thunder, lightening and rain here.
It was very sad to find out that lives were lost and homes and businesses destroyed.
What a difference a day makes…
Today was sunny and beautiful.
I made rocks today…to finish this pathway to the patio that we made a few years earlier…One bag of cement~some peat moss~water…
The Great-crested Flycatcher returned today..and was wreeeeeping around the yard.
I went across the street into the woods to look for Morel mushrooms..
I do find other things in the woods..like…
This snake that blocked my path and would not budge…The remains of a cardinal..
Most likely eaten by the resident Coopers Hawk…
I need to speak to him…I much rather he take a few Brown-headed Cowbirds that have been pigging out at the feeders…
Ferns unfolding…
And mushrooms that aren't Morels…
This looks like a Russula ..
NO MORELS
So I left the woods and back in the yard..
The Chickadees that live in the moon have little ones..
I see them both going in and out with goodies for the kids…
There are more flowers starting to bloom in Sickstas garden….
After a busy day…of Rock making~bird watching~mushroom hunting…
I made dinner for three…we watched the birds as we ate…
After Dinner
…Sicksta does her walk around…and while she was walking around she found these…
What are they?
Strange looking bugs????
And another day comes to a close………………
I will listen for the Whip-poor will tonight..and watch the Flying Squirrels before closing my eyes…
I hope those affected by the tornado will have some peace.
Sweet Dreams…
