8/28/09 Expecting Hurricane Danny to cross our path sometime this weekend. Mostly just rain and some wind - nothing too bad. ****************************************** The cicadas are busy these days, filling the thick summer air with their song. ****************************************** Our Shakespeare roses are blooming nicely as are the heavenly blue morning glories. The sunflowers are spent, having been picked over by the birds. ******************************************
Hello!
- Welcome to my little nature corner! I am starting this blog on January 1st, 2007 and it is my goal to write something every day - in hopes of creating a family almanac by the end of the year. Some days it might just be the temperature, others it will be (I hope) posts full of pictures and observations. I hope you enjoy your time here!
Everyday Nature
- ~Early Spring Birds~Now's the time of year to start watching for spring migrants passing through. Keep your bird guides handy so you can identify them! It's also the time to hear spring birdsong (it will sound new and yet familiar) and to observe courting behavior. :) ******************************************
