1. Hot Summer Days (Sky Watch Friday)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 30, 2020

On hot Summer days we have two choices: stay inside near the air conditioner, or find a shady place near a lake with a cool breeze blowing!

2. Phlox (Floral Friday Fotos)

Black Swallowtail Butterfly, Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 30, 2020

Phlox blooms are a magnet for Butterflies!

3. What I am Reading

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 31, 2020

I read the first of Jill Churchill's Grace and Favor Mystery series, 'Anything Goes,' several months ago. On a recent trip to the library I picked up more of them. The setting is New York during the early 1930's. You should read 'Anything Goes' first to get the background info, and then the others can be read in any order.

4. Deer (Saturday's Critters)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 21, 2020

5. Towhee (I'd Rather B Birdin')

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 13, 2020

I see Towhees feeding on dropped seed under my feeders, but they are so camera-shy I rarely get a photo. And I almost didn't get this one!

Have a blessed day!

male Eastern Bluebird, Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 28, 2020

Eastern Bluebirds, Sialia sialis, can be found in the eastern half of North America and as far south as Nicaragua in Central America. They are cavity-nesting birds that have been greatly helped by the popularity of bluebird houses with small entrance holes that larger birds cannot enter.

Have a wonderful day!

Red Admiral Butterflies, Vanessa atalanta, are widespread across temperate regions of the world, but I do not remember ever seeing one before. Have you seen one where you live?

I hope you are having a great week!

3. The Most Interesting Thing I Have Seen this Week

I did not touch it, but this fungus growing on a dead tree limb on the ground is about as big as my hand.

Thankful Thursday, July 23, 2020

Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 23, 2020

I am thankful that our library is offering curbside service!

I login to the library website using my library card number and reserve the books I want to read. When they are ready for pickup, the librarian calls me. When I drive up to the library, I call her, put the passenger side window down, and she sets my books on the front seat.

This week I got four murder mysteries by Katherine Hall Page, and another mystery by Jill Churchill.

Books are returned through the book drop slot and kept in quarantine for a week before they are available for checkout again.

Have a blessed day!

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, June 15, 2020

Rock Doves (aka Rock Pigeons), Columba livia, are usually just called Pigeons. There may be variations in plumage color and pattern even within the same flock.

Have a wonderful day!
