2025-01-21 Snow Day

 


 

Mr White

This is the most snow I've seen since 1960 at around 3 inches. When I went to bed it was sleeting but no snow. But the morning was different. People were out walking and playing. The sun finally broke through at 2 pm and now it might be possible to build a nice snowman. :) Pictures  VIDEO Building_A_Snowman_Video  Extended Making a Snowman Video

2024-12-30 Birdfy Video Album

 



Tammy got us a Birdfy video bird feeder for Christmas and I mounted it on a pole in our back yard within a week. We've had visitors: Northern Cardinal (pictured) and Norther Cardinal female, Black-capped Chickadee, Carolina Chickadee (if accurately identified by the device), and Yellow-rumped Warbler.  So far.  I created a Google Photo Album to store and identify the birds. 

The squirrels have invaded a couple of times despite using cayenne pepper, which they hate but the birds ignore, and I added a slinky on the lower section of the pole to help keep them from climbing up. The birds love the seed, especially the sun flower seed.

2024-12-26 Trans-Siberian Orchestra

 



The day after Christmas Jordan drove us to the Toyota Center in Houston to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert. The music was great and visual effects amazing, all over the top. We were fortunate the weather cooperated even though several tornados touched down around town during the event. Afterwards we ate at one of our favorite Mexican Restaurants, Los Cucos, in Pearland.

This year we emptied our stockings on Christmas Eve.

Christmas we got down to the gift giving and later video chat with Adam.
