Finally got a day with weather favorable enough to hand wash some of the winter off of the truck. I even got in the 5er for a few minutes. Can't wait to hook it up and head out for a weekend of camping.

The guessers say we’re about to get 4” of rain in the next three days. We really need it.
The peeps in the burn areas better heed!

We'll be leaving next Monday and back on Thursday to shake the wintertime kinks out of ours. Going to White Oak Creek Campground on Lake Eufaula Alabama. I've got the springtime jitters to catch some Crappie.Finally got a day with weather favorable enough to hand wash some of the winter off of the truck. I even got in the 5er for a few minutes.

Picked up 10 trees over the weekend to plant in the backyard. Well, actually two in the front and eight in the back. Now, we are just waiting on a decent day or two to get them in the ground. We got two dogwood trees for the front yard area. Four apple trees and four maple trees for the back yard. Going to try to pick up some willow trees for down by the pond as well.

No snow to a fresh blanket of about 6 inches this morning.
Looks like no horseshoes today.
Pretty out though

67* this morning and humid. Yesterday mid 80s, today probably a bit higher.
Just wish the wind would let up. Makes it uncomfortable to work outside.

One from a local pair of bald eagles decided to land in one of my backyard trees a few minutes ago.
A little blurry. Zooming in with my cell phone.

I knew that we had a lot of Bald Eagles here but I didn't realize how many until I saw this on a documentary about Minnesota the other night.
"Florida has surpassed Minnesota as the state with the most active bald eagle nests in the lower 48. A 2011 survey counted more than 1,400 active eagle nests, a remarkable comeback since DDT decimated eagle populations just a few decades ago".
“Today in Central Florida alone we have more eagles and eagle nests in that area than in the entire 48 states in 1965,” said Charles Lee, director of advocacy at Audubon of Florida, to the Winter Park / Maitland Observer.

I live next to a lot of State game lands. There's an eagles nest about a mile from my house next to a man-made dam. I'm guessing the eagle that I saw was from that location but I didn't see its mate. We have a lake next to our house that they come to fish at quite often. Usually the pair of them are there.
I also watch Osprey cams --- those bird are almost as fascinating as eagles.
And peregrine falcon cams.

Peregrine falcons were gone from the valley here for a long time. They've made a huge comeback in the last decade. They keep the nasty pigeon population in check.

Had a half inch of rain that changed over to snow at daybreak. It's now changed back over to rain. Two inches of rain over that past week in all along with a couple quick snow squalls. The ground is so saturated. Water is pooling up everywhere. Stream in the backyard is running strong.

We had that about 2 weeks ago here, neighbors hard had a nice pond that froze over a few nights. Just about mud season here, then the black flies will be out full force in time to yard work!

Damned if I know, I live in Florida.
Mid 70s today -- brisk North breeze made it feel cooler.
Finally got my big mower going --- the battery was DEAD. Friend of mine came over and helped change it out.
Cut lots of green stuff masquerading as grass.

Went to Legacy Trail head yesterday at Shamrock Park and started out for a bike ride. Rode six miles then turned around to return, right into a thirteen mile an hour headwind. By the time I got back to the parking lot my legs were jelly. I've ridden further recently but not into a headwind like that one.
Temps were high 70's yesterday. Today, it is now 75 and going to high 80's. Low humidity day so far. Sun shining, snowbirds heading north, traffic getting lighter and restaurants having much shorter wait times if at all. Life is good!!!

I hear you about the snowbirds, Whizzer. They are leaving the Hill Country, too. Now, the weekenders from Austin are inundating us -- but they're only
here a couple of days.
