Happy Thursday! See? The day is already starting out pretty good. Thank you to LeeAnna for hosting the I Like Thursday links HERE so we can all share all the fun & interesting things around us.
I'll start off with the interesting animal sightings in my yard. Remember those turkeys out back?
I've learned from my son and my neighbor that they are both female. I'm sure that there is a male lurking somewhere close by too but I have yet to see him. This week one of the gals got pretty brazen and walked up through to the front!
With all the cold weather we had been having, I've done my best to keep the suet feeders filled. One day this past week I caught this red-bellied woodpecker fending off a starling and getting himself a bite to eat.

On the TV front, we're happy around here that some of our favorite shows are back, including NCIS and Price Is Right at Night. Also this week began Tournament of Champions on Jeopardy. Mom is really looking forward to the return of Matlock this week too!
I am still reading "The God of the Woods" and am now thoroughly into it. Whoever recommended it -- Thanks! It took a bit to get into due to a lot of characters introduced and also going back and forth between current and past times.
Since I finished the last monthly cross-stitch project, I decided to knock out another month. I figured that I'd better before my eyesight goes to pot. These monthlies are worked on VERY TINY aida cloth and there are lots of half crosses.

I guess that's it from me this week. Time to get out with Gracie this morning and then it's off to the periodontist with Mom for her annual visit. She's been very anxious to see this dentist in particular. She's sure that her teeth have moved and wants him to take a look. I hope she'll be able to rest calmly after the visit and he can satisfy her anxiety.
Have a great rest of your week and don't forget to visit the others sharing fun tips & sightings & whatever else they decide to share HERE.
We like NCIS and have also been watching NCIS Origins. Also enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteMom loves NCIS and she's just not sure what we'll watch on Friday nights now that Blue Bloods has finished up. Her dental hygenist recommended the movie Baby Boomer from the 80s. I discovered it's on Prime Video right now so that's probably going to fill in our evening this week. Have a great weekend!
DeleteWow! Those turkeys look big! Yes, we are also bird feeder people. The half crosses in cross stitch always throw me for a loop. I hope your mom’s visit with the dentist goes well!
ReplyDeleteGracie & I walked this morning with the deer! Lol! If we don't see anything in our backyard, there's sure to be some fun critters to spy on the bike trail. Mom's visit went OK but she's sure that some of her teeth have changed -- some have fallen out AND that she's grown new ones! Does she think she's a shark??!! Lol! Truly it's a sad state of affairs at this stage. Thanks for the visit.
DeleteThe woodpeckers in our yard love the suet, too! I read God of the Woods and liked it - maybe I recommended it. Glad you gotten into it! Hope your mom had a good dentist visit - I'm sorry she had to worry about that.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Diann. She had a great dental report -- no loose teeth, no cavities, no bleeding gums. She is so lucky but she insists her teeth have changed -- that she's lost some teeth and also grown new ones on the other side! I kid her about being a shark! Lol! Unfortunately she's not buying into it and is very insistent. It's been tough around here lately. Let's have a great weekend!
