Carolina Wrens, Thryothorus ludovicianus, are common here where I live in the southeastern part of the United States. Their primary food sources are insects and spiders, and they will come to suet feeders in cold weather.

We had snow Sunday night, but then it turned to sleet for most of the day Monday. It looks like snow, but it is really ice! Very slick, very dangerous. And with below freezing temperatures for the next few days, it will be the weekend before it melts and it is safe to get out again.

I hope you have a good week!

When I checked on my Hellebores buds on Saturday, it was a bright sunny day. Yesterday (Sunday) we had rain mixed with sleet. This morning we have a wintery mix of snow and sleet.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

A New Dog

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, January 13, 2023

After our old dog died two months ago, we needed another dog, and this dog needed a home. We don't know anything about his parents or what breed he might be. Our veterinarian thinks he is only about a year old, so he may grow bigger. He already weights 60 lbs! We take him (or he takes us) for long walks in our woods - good exercise for everyone.

He loves to run really fast; he is like a small hurricane. So we named him Harry Kane!

Have a great weekend!

Sky Watch Friday: Sunset

Sunset, Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, January 7, 2024

We had 3 inches of rain Monday night, but for the rest of the week we had sunshine with only a few clouds. But temperatures are dropping this weekend, and snow is in the forecast for Monday.

Happy Friday!

Christmas Cards

Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

I am thankful that people still send Christmas Cards. Yes, electronic communication is fast and easy, but I love to get actual cards to hold in my hands and use as part of my Christmas decorations!

Have a Blessed Day!
