Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 1, 2023

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Archilochus colubris, are small migratory birds here in the southeastern United States. They come to us at the end of March and leave in September. This is a female; only the males have red throats. They drink nectar from flowers and catch small insects. We, like many other people, hang up feeders with a sugar-water mixture to attract them.

Have a great day!

Tennessee River

Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Tennessee River near Shiloh, Tennessee, USA, June 6, 2023

I am thankful we live within easy driving distance of the Tennessee River. There are several excellent places to eat lunch, and we enjoy watching the river traffic.

This is Tennessee Valley Towing's "Addi Belle" pushing its barges upriver towards Pickwick Lock and Dam.

Have a blessed day!

Monday Murals: Checkers

Checkers Drive-in Restaurant has a rather plain black and white design on the front, but look at the sides...

The south side of the building and...

...the north side. Makes me hungry just looking at it!

I am thankful to live out in the country where the roads are lined with wildflowers!

Where the Day Lilies that escape from their flower beds to grow at the edge of the road are affectionately called Ditch Lilies!
