1. Groundhog Day (Sky Watch Friday)
 |
| Ballard Park, Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, February 2, 2019 |
According to folklore if there is enough sun for a Groundhog to see its shadow on February 2, there will be six more weeks of Winter weather. If there is any truth in it, well... you can see what a nice sunny day it was!
.
It was very enjoyable to just sit in the sun and watch the children play.
And the skateboarders were enjoying the ramps and the paved walkways.
We are back to our normal Winter weather this morning (Friday), 31F with an expected high of 40F (4C) with a cold wind blowing.
2. Good Food!
 |
| Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, January 26, 2019 |
At Outback Steakhouse: Sweet Chook O' Mine Sandwich (grilled chicken with shredded lettuce, bacon, and cheese) with Aussie Fries. Delicious!
3. Favorite Photo of the Week
 |
| Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, February 5, 2019 |
When we met friends for lunch at the Pickwick Inn on Tuesday, the sun was just beginning to break through the fog. In the Summer when the lake water is deeper, the yellow marker floats to outline a swimming area.
4. Muscovy Ducks (Saturday's Critters)
 |
| Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, February 2, 2019 |
Muscovy Ducks have beautiful feathers. It is kind of sad that their faces are so ugly.

5. Rufous-sided Towhee (I'd Rather B Birdin')
 |
| Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, January 31, 2019 |
I always carry my camera with me because you never know where you might see a bird. I found this male Rufous-sided Towhee,
Pipilo erythrophthalmus, perched on an old junked car.
When he saw I had a camera, he tried to hide in the bushes!
Have a wonderful day!

I was happy to hear about the groundhogsg prediction! We have had spring like weather all week but today is in the 50's with a wind advisory and 40's for the weekend....boooo!
ReplyDeleteI have always like the towhee. Haven't seen one in ages. Thanks for featuring it this week.
ReplyDelete...we have become a nation that believes in rodents and not scientists when it comes to weather and climate.
ReplyDelete...what a burger.
...dreamy.
...I know an Amish boy who raises Muscovy Ducks, he says that they are the BEST.
...a beauty.
Thanks Lea for sharing, enjoy your weekend.

Love the Towhee pics. Lea!
ReplyDeleteThe Muscovy looks like quite a character.
ReplyDeleteThat sandwich looks to die for!
Here the winter can be expected to last well into March, if not longer.
Oh my that chicken sandwich looks delicious! Time for lunch. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIsn't mild winter weather wonderful? Our has ended here but I have your bird pictures to look at - especially the Muscovy duck "overhead".
ReplyDeleteI just ate, but that sandwich still makes me hungry!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the ducks!
