Sky Watch Friday: Cotton, October 29, 2021

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, October 27, 2021

We had sunny skies for the first part of the week, but clouds began moving in on Wednesday. Today's forecast is for rain all day and on into the night.

The crop in the field is cotton ready for harvest. Light rain will not hurt it, but heavy rain is bad news.

I hope you have a good weather!

Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, October 15, 2021

I am thankful to have another birthday! And I am thankful for my dear sweet husband who took me to Red Lobster Restaurant to celebrate! I had grilled Trout, a baked Potato, steamed Broccoli, and three Cheddar Bay Biscuits. It was delicious, and I ate so much I had to wait until the next day to have birthday cake and ice cream!

Have a blessed day!

After a brief rain shower yesterday, I saw this Black Vulture, Coragyps atratus, spreading its wings with its back to the sun to dry its feathers.

The Killdeer, Charadrius vociferus, is a Plover that can be found near inland lakes. Most other Plovers are shorebirds. Killdeers in Canada and the northern United States are migratory; in other parts of North America, including the Caribbean islands, they are year-round residents.

Friday's Fave Five, October 1, 2021

1. October

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, October 1, 2021

October is my favorite month of the year! The Summer's heat is gone, and Winter is not here yet. 

I especially like this calendar from Blue Letter Bible. Each month has a nice photo, a Bible Verse, and at the bottom of the page, a brief devotional on the scripture.

"For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

2. Book Club

Our book club selection for October is 'Heart and Soul' by Maeve Binchy. Last month we read 'At Home in Mitford' by Jan Karon.

3. Senior Citizen's Bingo

I'm a winner! About a dozen of us older folks get together once or twice a month to play Bingo just for fun and fellowship. We moved the tables farther apart, and we all wear masks. There is no charge to play, but those who want to can donate small prizes. On Wednesday I won a box of cheese crackers! They are very thin and crispy - a tasty snack.

4. Fresh Fruit

They say "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" but I prefer oranges.

5. Living with Diabetes

I am especially thankful for food made especially to help us diabetics control our blood sugar! I pour chocolate Boost on my morning cereal instead of milk.

Have a blessed day and a wonderful weekend!
