Low was 27.9 and high was 71.5. Perfect weather! Stump face…LOL Bee was busy but slow! Prairie Parsley (Polytaenia nuttallii) rosette getting bigger. It is a Black Swallowtail host plant. On our back pond, it was busy. Beside the obvious larger insect on top of the water, there were these very tiny  (like mite size) red critters…

 The low was 43.2 and it made it up to 67.6, but by 3pm it had fallen back to 61. Still no complaints here. 🙂 Of course the millipedes were out first thing this morning! I found these tiny feathers this morning. I’m thinking it might be a Savannah Sparrow’s. This was all I found….

It was even colder this morning! Our low was -6.3 degrees. We have never seen it that cold here before. So far we have been really lucky and not experienced a power outage. Fingers crossed. I’m so sorry some of you are having them. By Friday hopefully we will get above freezing. Fingers and toes…

 It got down to .7 degrees. That is very close to what the app say which was  zero. It took three times for Gracie to step out from the the front porch to go to do her business before it was light outside. Then she ran to and then back to the house as quick…

Happy Valentine’s Day! A day to be inside with your love ones, eh!  It has been lightly snowing here all day. Hard to tell how much but I would say about  1/2″. Wind is blowing it too much. ERCOT says try to conserve energy. ERCOT has an app if you want to watch what is…
