This and That on Thrusday...


Yesterday was drizzly, all day.

8-365

The day before, the low was 12F.
Yesterday, it was 39F
And, today it was 54F!

As they say....If you don't like the weather in Texas,
just wait a minute.

After a bit of fog this morning, the day has turned out to be 
beautiful.

I got out and took a walk around the back.


The creek isn't running much.
It's quit coming over the cart path and waterfall.


It stops here, in this pond area.
It must soak into the ground here.  


Looking back from the pond, through the Deer Grove, to the house,
you can see that the rye grass is still green.
This tree, which didn't make it through the drought,
fell a while back.  When we had the Halloween Flood,
the water rushed through here, to just beyond the first upright
trees you can see.  WAY to close too the house, for my comfort.


Back up to the house....the sun makes the bottle tree look like stained glass.


The hummingbird feeder our oldest granddaughter gave me for my birthday
dropped its feeding tube.  But, it still makes a pretty ornament.
Makes 'stars' on the siding.

From the other side, the sun shining through it is just beautiful....
like the day.

By the way...here's my offering for #7 of my 365....
silicone potholders.  A gift from our daughter.
I love them.

'Til later...

Take care...

She shows up all the time.  
She's a Golden-fronted Woodpecker.

This one is the female.  The male has a little red cap on his head.
The whole family shows up.  Momma, Daddy, and Baby.  They all have a sweet tooth.

They're big, and they're noisy.  And, a bit clumsy.  You don't want to have a feeder close to a window....

They come to all the feeders.

And, the hummers don't like it.

The hummers dive bomb the woodpeckers.  But, it doesn't faze them.
They just keep on sippin'.

We seldom see any other types of Woodpeckers.  Occasionally, we see a Hairy Woodpecker.
But, they're fast, and I'm not.  So, no pictures of those.

The heat goes on here.  Keeping water and food out for the 'livestock' is just one of the daily chores.

Fall will come, right?  Let's hope soon.

Pray for rain...

Happy Gardening...
