Another New Feeder...

This crazy winter continues.

After cold and damp and temperatures not out of the 30sF,

we had a day of sun and almost 80F!

We spent the day outside, working in the garden.

There is a lot to do out there.

The new bird feeder arrived.

Not all that pretty, but maybe it will last.

It rotates when something heavy gets on it.

So, squirrels are thrown off.

And, large doves.

I kind of like the doves.  I prefer the small ones, but we seem to have 

mostly Whitewing Doves.  They can empty a feeder, almost as

fast as the squirrels.

This one just couldn't understand why he couldn't get that seed.

There was some thrown on the ground,

so they got something, after all.

The feeder is attached with a clip, on a long chain.

If raccoons can get this one down,

they can have it.

The day was so nice,

the moon decided to show up early, to enjoy it.

We ended the day, on the porch,

watching the sunset through the trees.

We're having another one of those days, today.

More work in the garden.

Then, tomorrow we're forecast another round of 

cold and damp.

Ugh....

Hope you're having a good day,

wherever you are.

'Til later...

Take care...

Once in a Blue Moon....

The old saying means something uncommon...something rare.

The second full moon, in one month...it's rare.

According to NOAA,

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration,

it only happens once every three years.

It took me until morning to see it.

Next time up, 2015.

Happy Gardening...

Blue Skies.....

....Nothin' but Blue Skies, do I see.

It's been clear and cold....well, cool..the last few days.

I think I'd like cloudy and rainy.  But, you get what you get.

Yesterday, on the way to yet another grandkid basketball game, 

we saw this sky.

I'm very seldom without the camera. (Annoys the family, but they'll get over it.)

No clouds.  Just vapor trails from jet planes.

Some looked like a giant hand had combed them.

Then, this morning, when I went out for the paper...this moon greeted me.

So, back inside for the camera.

Got a couple good shots.

SOOC

I use Photoscape to edit.

Just hitting the 'auto contrast' edit really changed the color of the sky.

I think I like both.

I'm linking up this week to  

Sky Watch Friday

Have a great weekend...

Clear and Cold...

Another clear, cold morning.

  The moon was still peeking through the trees.

28 degrees, when I got up....the tv showed 43 degrees, at the station in Austin.

Mr. P. says it's that 'Valley Effect'.  We're always a bit colder here.

It's supposed to climb into the 70s this afternoon.

Then, Friday the low's predicted to be in the 20s...in town.

Better get those blankets ready to cover some things.

Have a Great Day...
