Three unbeaten eggs in a bowl. Homemade hot sauce. Butter. On the cutting board are chopped mushroom, peppers, onions and ham. Tillamook cheddar is also on the board.
The completed omelette is awesome! Plus toast. A glass with red wine is on the right.
Before and after of tonight’s omelette culling the fridge
In the foreground yellow blooms of daffodils surround a maple tree trunk with a house and truck in the background.
Stems of lilac have small dots of green.
More signs of spring! Mawmaw’s daffodils are blooming and the lilacs are budding.
Jupiter is above and to the right of the moon. A jet leaves a trail in the upper t. A leafless maple tree and out building are in the foreground.
The jet has moved to the left of the moon but a new light has appeared just to the left of the maple tree.
Tonight’s moon has Jupiter in a different place compared to last night. And we’ve got Chem Trails! And is that a UFO that appears in the second photo?
Do you get to drink beer and eat tacos while you “run” ten miles ?
The only planet/star in view is to the right and below a blurry moon.
My best guess is that’s Jupiter by the moon this evening.
Bluebird boxes are on fence posts in southeast Henderson County Kentucky
Put out some store bought bluebird boxes on the outer fence line today.
A black vultures is on the ground in front of an old well that’s been filled in.
A black vulture sits on the edge of an old tobacco barn.
Today’s critters are 2 of the 3 Black Vultures pooping in the old tobacco barn. These are the mean vultures that will go after newborn or weak calves. But migratory bird laws mean you need to follow a procedure to get rid of them.
A bald eagle is on the cover of a book.
Today’s bird critters posts will get more informative. We acquired a 1991 edition of The Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds for 50 cents. Suggested retail price when printed was $75. Did you know an Eastern Bluebird was clocked at 17 mph in 1933? Now you do. Weighs 7.6 lb.
Three American Robins are showing their orange breasts in front of a bluebird box and the trunk of a large red oak. A small row of garlic is in the foreground.
Five robins are in a grass field beyond a wire fence.
Today’s critters are American Robins. Another sign of spring! And I hope that little patch of garlic wasn’t too bothered by the winter.
Ditto Sirota
It comes down faster than it melts.
Sign on Mount Washington hiking trail saying “STOP THIS AREA HAS THE WORST WEATHER IN AMERICA. MANY HAVE DIED THERE FROM EXPOSURE, EVEN IN THE SUMMER. TURN BACK NOW IF THE WEATHER IS BAD.”
When climbing it I started out in shorts and tee shirt. Finished in full rain gear - 36 degrees and 30 mph winds.
Today’s critters are the flock of Wild Turkeys again. Only this morning they’re behind the house on our side of the road.
Today’s critters are Midland Chorus Frogs providing another sign of spring on the way. Can’t see ‘em but you can hear ‘em. Wonder if they know it’s supposed to get to 18 F Sunday night.
And John Adams defended them.
Pulling for Jordyn in case we’re related and also if we’re not.
Part of a Costco receipt showing $23.99 for Kirkland champagne
That’s what I paid Jan 30 in Evansville, IN. Put it in the fridge in case I have an unplanned reason to celebrate.
Today’s critters are a flock of Wild Turkeys across the road. Turn the volume up and you can hear some squawking. In the second video you see the pair behind the house the squawks were coming from. 1/2
Tulips are emerging in a mulched flower bed in Henderson County KY.
Could spring be on the way?
Close an aluminum smelter, layoff 600+, build a data center. www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/form...

A barred owl is well camouflaged amongst a late spring woods in western Kentucky.
Today’s critter is a SuperB owl in the Devil’s Garden back 40 from March 2024.
Did the staffer get fired? Or rewarded?
Republicans seem to think Kentuckians have too many teeth.
Today’s critters are a Blizzard of Dark-eyed Juncos. Usually have a few amongst all the others at the bird feeder. But last night they took over and weren’t bothered by Mia. Better understanding why a flock is called a Blizzard .

A full moon with an orange halo rises over a snow covered landscape.
Tonight’s lunar corona from west Kentucky.
