Storytime (Part 2): Turned Around

Which Way? Ever felt that way, where you don't know which way to go? I started this story a week before last but completely forgot to post part 2 last week with my griping on the heat last week! So let's continue... I did a little walking around the tails of Lake Monticello the other … Continue reading Storytime (Part 2): Turned Around

Wildflowers And Bees

For today's Muddy Water and Cypress Trees post I'll look back at some pictures from 2016. I drove out around Seven Devil's WMA just east of Monticello and took a few pictures of some wildflowers along the roadside and if I remember correctly found one of my favorite snacks, Wild Muscadines. These photos have become … Continue reading Wildflowers And Bees

Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Let’s Ride The Levee (Part 5)

I'm still trying to get a picture of the Roseate Spoonbill. Let' review a bit this journey. I saw one flying over a couple weeks ago but couldn't get a picture of it, since it's been on my list of wanting to see one up-close and get a photograph of it. It's been very hot … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Let’s Ride The Levee (Part 5)

Flourished…

A couple of weeks ago the bible study group I am apart of read Acts 12. A verse that really hit me in this study was: But the word of God continued to spread and flourish. -Acts 12:24. In life when I get the most frustrated then here comes the word of God, speaking into the … Continue reading Flourished…

We Need Water!

I guess the theme here this week is the heat. I've mentioned my tomato starts here before. Last week in the heat when I checked on the plants they looked pretty pitiful. After some water they looked much better the next day when I looked at them.

It’s All Relative

I'll give a little peak here to a coming Chasing Roseate Spoonbill post. I went out yesterday to look for birds and since it's cooled off I decided to do some walking. I guess "cooled off" is relative since what it cooled off from! It was still hot! I'm thankful for the cooler breeze we … Continue reading It’s All Relative

The Kingfisher

For this week's Muddy Water and Cypress Trees post I'm going to look back on one of my older photographs of a Belted Kingfisher taken at Choctaw Island on the Mississippi River in 2011. (I can't believe it was that long ago.) Seeing a Kingfisher is not that rare as I've seen many but this … Continue reading The Kingfisher

Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – A Road Trip South (Part 4)

I'm still trying to get a photo of the Roseate Spoonbill. I saw one flying the other day but it was too far to catch a photo. In today's post about this goal I decided to head south on a road trip in Ashley County and visit both Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge and Overflow National … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – A Road Trip South (Part 4)

Bartimaeus

Last week I had one of those moments I'm very thankful for. I was invited by several friends to attend The SEARK Men's Summit put on by First Baptist Church of Monticello. In this meeting there was a great time of eating, worship and a message from God's word. The message preached included the story … Continue reading Bartimaeus

Pollinator Patch

For today's garden update I was planning a new project but with the heat wave we are in right now I've decided to wait. Since there's not much going on in my garden right now I decided another look at my pollinator garden was good. I like this patch because there seems to always be … Continue reading Pollinator Patch
