Backyard Chill

 

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today, we are taking you on a Winter tour of our backyard. 

The skies have been blue here in our corner of the world. 

We had a rainy cold front come through last week, with temps staying in the 30s during the day and dropping into the twenties at night. It made these pretty icicles.

Mama turned off the fountain so it wouldn't freeze. 

This week the days are warmer, almost 60F degrees. 

The plants are getting confused....this little forsythia bloom thought it was Spring.

Some of our plants still have their seed pods attached, like the lilac bush... 

....and Mama's favorite, the Texas Yucca's seed pods!

Thanks for joining us on our backyard tour. January is a pretty quiet time for nature here in our corner of Blogville.

We hope all our friends enjoy some nature this weekend!

From Mama: We are away from the office today and may not be able to comment. We'll catch up with everyone Monday afternoon!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Alien Feeder

 

Daddy got Mama got one of those new fangled "smart feeders" she's wanted for awhile now. It took awhile, but birds have finally found it!  Today we have a look at some of the first footage SC (Smart Camera) captured!

That first birdie was a little weird, don't you think? BOL

We can't wait to see what other fun flying creatures SC captures!

We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the

Travel Tuesday - Mastering the Wagon

This year Sunny and I have been appointed Assistant Wagonmasters for the pawrents RV Club. You may be asking What the heck is a wagonmaster? Well, for Mama it means she makes sure everything goes smoothly on the RV trips we go on this year. Part of this is checking out the RV parks the RV Club hasn't visited in past years. Our job as assistant wagonmasters is to accompany the pawrents on most of their visits.

We had our first park visit last weekend in Roswell, NM. 

Our pawrents found the park without any problem.

Of course, it had to be checked out thoroughly!

They have nice, spacious spaces for a pup to stretch her legs

...and grass to do our "business"

Lots of walkie space....

Even a place for ArCe to get juice for the heater if she needs it!

We did smell some interesting smells tho......

Maybe there is something to all those alien stories!

We give this park four paws up, and are looking forward to visiting Roswell in 2026!!

Winter Skies

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Before we go any further we wanted to thank everyone who stopped by and wished Mama well yesterday. She goes to an orthopedist later this month to see what is going on, but her knee/leg is feeling a bit better every day. 

Now, on to Nature Friday! This week, we are taking a look at some of the beautiful sunrises we have had so far this winter. 

The mornings start with dark pinks and purples like in the top picture, then they explode into the second picture, bright oranges and dark purply blues. Finally, right before the sun rises, the colors brighten into the colors in the picture above before the colors fade into the colors of coming day.

I'm glad Mama gets these pictures because usually I am napping on the couch when this happens BOL!

We hope you enjoyed our little look at New Mexico sunrises, this time of year they really put on a beautiful show.

We hope all of  our friends get out and enjoy some nature this weekend!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

 

Thankful Thursday Story

Monday, during my afternoon walkie, my collar broke and I lost my connection to Mama. I hardly noticed and kept on walking. Mama called me, but I really didn't want to end my walkie yet. When she started to come after me, she pulled something in her knee. When I saw she was struggling, I reluctantly turned around and went back to make sure she was ok. I let Mama put my collar back on and thankfully everything stayed connected long enough for me to help Mama hobble home.

So today, we are thankful for:

 Good recall

and

Good doctors!
