Howdee all,
We drove thru parts of Sanford, NC yesterday looking at the tornado damage, from the storm on Saturday the 16th. Sanford is the next town over from where we are in Carthage..
Many roads were closed.
All photos were taken as we drove by the areas.
The photos speak for themselves..
Lowes..
A few streets west and a bit south of Lowes…
See the Jacuzzi tub below in the front yard..
That’s a tractor trailer truck overturned in the backyard…
When I see that I think of our Homey…
Howdee all,
Here are a few Things with Wings …:)
A little fun with Picnik
Imaginary Wings…
The real thing with wings…
Orange Wings with black spots
Yellow and black wings on my Lilac bush I planted …
smells wonderful! The Lilac not the wings…
Black and white wings…..
Wings that live in the moon…
I hear little chickies in there!
I do love the sounds they make..and they are rather cute piglets~ahem~that don’t raise their own young…Humm..
Brown spotted wings~ This one ate a few red birds at my feeders recently..…please eat the black winged birds up there^^ ^^instead!
They seem to know proper trail etiquette…
And…that’s all folks
Hope you enjoyed todays Things with Wings…..
Todays Wings brought to you by Sickstas Garden…
See you later…
For those that are interested, I have still not found any Morels.
and… Sicksta Dell, more L L L L Ls are not the same thing as Morels, and neither are Morals, I do have a few of those.
Howdee all,
It was a bit scary yesterday here in NC with all the storms going thru.
Storm clouds in the distance…
I was alone, Jeff was in Boston, My Sicksta and her husband were at work. I was watching the weather radar and saw the storms approaching…I took my prized possessions, Cameras, computer, binoculars and my Cat from our homey and went next door to the house.
The plan was to pile into the bathroom with the two dogs and cat if the radar looked ominous. I watched the radar for a few hours and turned on my weather radio. It was pretty ugly on the radar..but luckily nothing but thunder, lightening and rain here.
It was very sad to find out that lives were lost and homes and businesses destroyed.
What a difference a day makes…
Today was sunny and beautiful.
I made rocks today…to finish this pathway to the patio that we made a few years earlier…
The Great-crested Flycatcher returned today..and was wreeeeeping around the yard.
I went across the street into the woods to look for Morel mushrooms..
I do find other things in the woods..like…
This snake that blocked my path and would not budge…
Most likely eaten by the resident Coopers Hawk…
I need to speak to him…I much rather he take a few Brown-headed Cowbirds that have been pigging out at the feeders…
Ferns unfolding…
This looks like a Russula ..
NO MORELS
So I left the woods and back in the yard..
The Chickadees that live in the moon have little ones..
I see them both going in and out with goodies for the kids…
There are more flowers starting to bloom in Sickstas garden….
I made dinner for three…we watched the birds as we ate…
After Dinner
…Sicksta does her walk around…and while she was walking around she found these…
And another day comes to a close………………
I will listen for the Whip-poor will tonight..and watch the Flying Squirrels before closing my eyes…
I hope those affected by the tornado will have some peace.
Sweet Dreams…
Howdee all,
Last evening before sunset… on my short fifty foot long walk home from my Sickstas I saw a Summer Tanager. Yippeeeeee
One more of the critters that we see every spring time here…
It hasn’t come around to the house yet…it usually does a circuit and part of that circuit is their front porch and the roof of their house near our Homey…still waiting for that.
Cute little things…scampering up and down to get to the feeder that is attached to the tree near our bedroom window. Ballie gets excited when they visit and he tries to catch them by jumping onto the window glass.
The same feeder hosted a Raccoon last week…I haven't seen it since.
The other night we heard murderous screams in the middle of the night…Jeff tried to find out what was going on,but saw nothing. Some poor animal probably met its demise….
Always something going on here…I am looking forward to more spring migrants…
Bring em on!
Oh..and I wouldn’t mind a Morel mushroom or two :)
Howdee all,
The birds are busy with home making in Sickstas yard..
The resident Bluebirds have chosen the same nest box for the third year in a row.%5B8%5D.jpg "around sickstas_080 (1)")
Well they do…
Can you see the happy face?
A Ruby-throated hummingbird has been at my feeder, but prefers the tasty garden flowers.
The birds are returning~
I am eagerly awaiting the Blue and Rose breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings and any other bird that wants to come to Sickstas Garden…
Life is Birdie Good
