Bald Is Beautiful?

By Carol on Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

Not sure if bald is always so beautiful… actually a blue jay without his head feathers is kinda spooky looking. Quite a few of the blue jays have lost their head feathers all at the same time. Not sure why but it does make them look so funny. Seems to happen almost every summer. The [...]

Baby Bunnies Are FAST

By Carol on Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

Early this morning I saw something zoom around the deck then more slowly come towards it. It was too big for the rat and too small for a squirrel. By the time it stopped darting every which-a-way, I saw it was the baby bunny Crystal said she saw over the weekend. What a cute little [...]

Rays and Music

By Carol on Sunday, September 19th, 2010 | No Comments

I went to the Tampa Bay Rays game last night with Crystal and Ralph. I thought I was going to the baseball game with a concert afterwards and they thought they where going to have to sit through some baseball to see Adam Lambert. Crystal wasn’t sure she even liked baseball. I had to assure [...]

Tourists?

By Carol on Saturday, September 18th, 2010 | No Comments

I was driving to the store the other day and this truck with NY tags on it was beside me. It caught my attention because that’s a FOOT sticking out of the driver’s window. I guess the truck was so incredibly loaded with whatever stuff they brought down with them that the only place for [...]

New Family Artist

By Carol on Friday, September 17th, 2010 | No Comments

Morgan is turning into quite an artist. With a little help from her mom, she drew and colored this picture of their family walking in the woods at their new home. It’s even got their new cat, Frosty, in the tree. I guess he likes to go on walks, too. Looks like fun to me!

Bunnies Are At It Again

By Carol on Thursday, September 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Yesterday I plugged up, yet again, a rabbit hole under the corner of my fence in the backyard. The neighborhood rabbits are asserting their rights to live anywhere they want .. like it was written into their constitution or something. I stuck a couple of leftover pavers into the new hole yesterday morning (and it’s [...]

Winter in Clearwater

By Carol on Saturday, September 4th, 2010 | No Comments

No, it’s not winter in Clearwater yet … just the Labor Day weekend. But there’s always a Winter at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and she’s going to be a star in her own movie which is being filmed now. I was there earlier this year with Crystal and her family. That little dolphin who should [...]

This Is a Smart Bird

I’m not sure who’s trained in this video. It’s a young ibis tapping on Crystal’s window. She throws bread out of it several times a day to feed the flock of ibises that show up daily. She has named this one “Knocky-pants“. Turn up your speakers and you can hear it. So is the ibis [...]

Oh Great – It’s a Brown Widow

By Carol on Friday, September 3rd, 2010 | 2 Comments

Lucky me…. not only do I keep finding black widow spiders, but now I found a brown widow. And writing about spiders really, really isn’t that interesting to me. But in the spirit of being sure everyone knows what these things look like, here’s the brown dude(ette) munching in a wasp. It took me quite [...]
