Cajun Kitty
As promised, here are more photos of the little orphan opossum . . . And here she is again, a little Cajun Kitty. This title submitted by Lauri M. is the winner, but I never even mentioned what the prize would be! So, in order to offer an incentive to get her down here, the…
Don't hate me
because I’m beautiful because I love to fish! Sometimes, people ask me to take their boats for a spin for them when they’ve been sitting up too long. Such was the case last Thursday, and what a gorgeous day it was to make a late afternoon trip to my favorite lake. My secret spots were…
What to do when the fish aren't biting?
That was the question of the day today, as my fishing buddy Diane and I attempted to fish in high winds and muddy waters. Remember, we really are die-hard fishermen. And even though we remembered the ice for our seat cooler, which held our sustenance for this trip, both captain and deckhand forgot the ice…
CONTEST OVER! SEE WHO WON!
Suzanne The Farmer’s Wife, who makes her own laundry soap by the 3-gallon batch (and I am duly impressed by the way) just happened to be the first one to post on this contest and she just happened to be right! Except that it is not a soft shelled crab, but a very lively hard-shelled…
My first figs!
These must be “early figs”, because in the past, I’ve picked figs in July at my friend’s house. This is my first very own fig tree, and I am so excited about it’s fruit! Two days ago, there were none ripe. Today, while I was working on the curtains, I looked out the bedroom window…
Creepy! But, it’s a good photo.
Food Chain. Momma Nature’s sacred circle of life.
I luv the coming autumn season when spider webs dripping jewels of dew sparkles in the early morning sun.
So the banana spiders are out already? Must be time for fall!
Yes, Kim, isn’t it amazing? One morning this week I walked outside to the absence of humidity and the sky had a green aura like after a hurricane. I sensed the earth had tilted slightly; and now sunrise is after 6 a.m., not before.
Ooooh, I know they are necessary in the great scheme of things – but I HATE spiders! My sympathies are all with the locust. They have such a short life anyway, seems terrible to shorten it further!
I look forward to the first song of the cicada high in the live oak trees signaling the onslaught of summer; and then before you know it, the banana spider webs extend between the branches of the same oak trees, trapping the beautiful cicadas for food.
Noisy little buggers !!
One of my lovely memories of my indoor Siamese centers around a locust. She was sitting on the second floor balcony (which fronted a small, tree-lined creek) outside the kitchen, when she suddenly darted back in. You could almost hear her saying, “See, Momma, I told you I could catch a bird!” A locust had literally flown head first into her mouth and its wings were flapping on each side of her jaws. She was so upset with me when I took it away and released it!
Great story, Joan!
