AND my Covid test was negative...so I am self medicating and going about things as normal as possible...the weather changes so quickly Im sure that has something to do with it...and the Stress of Living in America is becoming unbearable!! You all know what I mean!
BUT in an attempt to bring some balance into my existence I found a nut tree...
Actually more than one... these are the kind of nuts I can hang out with...it's an old orchard of Pecans. I collected a shirt tail full and I think I will go back for more! Hopefully I won't get shot...there is always that possibility!
Other roadside attractions...a Great Egret. It's not that I haven't been looking for birds, I have, but I haven't found any! Im not seeing any Warblers, very few rare birds on our State Lists..so I think it's regional trend...
There has been an abundance of insect presence this fall...really glad of that.
recent rain brought tons of Mushrooms! All kinds, shapes and colors...
This is what I know as Mexican Sunflower...I found a stand in a roadside ditch so I pulled 2 up to transplant into my yard...I've been wanting some of these to get established so wish me luck..
This is a wetland I check sometimes, and today there was a couple of Egret and some Canadian Geese around...on the other side of the road is this old Spillway I imagine it was a mill pond at one time..
The Blue Ageratum has been really sweet this fall and the bees and butterflies love it, another long tailed skipper stopped by this one has all his body parts present and accounted for...
The little downy who visits the suet through out the day gave me a wayward look but he knows Im harmless...
Press PLAY in the middle
By the driveway...The first Yellow Bellied Sapsucker of the fall showed up to pick around in the Magnolia tree..
and was joined by a second one...I was happy to see..
Thursday I attended my very first Electric Co-op Meeting...I don't normally go because they usually have it in a big civic center, it's a crowd, its a 30 mile drive away but honestly Covid made some things better...this time they held it in 2 towns mine being one of them and only 4 miles from home! AND it was all done via drive through...just for attending I got a cast iron skillet./.and my name goes in a drawing for a riding mower!
Not bad eh? Im going to use this one for camping, in my kitchen I use cast iron daily...it's my favorite.
Today after 4 pm I can log in and see the drawing of the winner on video! SOOOooooo much better. If I win since I have a riding mower I will sell the new one and buy myself a ticket to Hawaii. :0)
More fall color
We are having good weather most of this week...some rain may return next week..Im working on painting the top of my van, so I hope the weather holds out.
PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.
