Tuesday, March 3 I took the photos between 6:26 am and 7:36 am and enjoyed watching the pastel colors appear when the sunrise and fog mixed.
Monday, March 2 I heard machinery outside in the field and checked to see what was happening. Whatever they were spraying, it was prepping the fields for the spring and summer crops. Love our country life.
I had fun watching a group of crows the other day. A group of crows is called a “murder.” They take big steps and walk with purpose – in a kind of waddle. Fact about crows from the internet: The female lays four to five eggs and incubates them for 18 days. At four weeks, […]
