The gang in our yard

The count on Wednesday was 26!

 

Gilmer County Farmer's Market

As usual, it's been ages since I posted.  Jim, of Meads Family Habitat , threatened to put my picture on his blog.   I told him that I would retaliate!

The elusive Brown Thrasher

For years I have tried to get a picture of a Brown Thrasher.  As soon as I would get close enough to get a picture, it would move farther away.  So I was surprised when one showed up in my backyard yesterday.  

I had to take this picture through my dirty kitchen window!

Sometimes I see mockingbirds in the back yard but I've never seen one eat at the suet cake until today.

Freddie's Eagle Scout Project

On April 17th, Freddie supervised the planting of four groves, with seven American Holly trees in each grove.  They planted them at two local Audubon Society sanctuaries.  They did a great job!

Some of the trees!

Planted and ready to grow!

Halloween

Our Jack O' Lanterns for 2009.

 

Last Halloween

I was reading Granny Sue's blog and she posted some pictures she took in Grafton this weekend. One of them was loaded with orbs. It reminded me of the evening Freddie and I spent at the cemetery next to Glenville State College last year on Halloween. Here are a couple of pictures with orbs. I think if they had been insects, they would have been in all the pictures. Plus, I'm a bug magnet and I didn't come home with any bites.

Glenville!

I think CreateWV did a great job on this!
