I couldn’t wait to get my treasure home. While Mom and Dad were away, Daddy asked me to look after his garden. “You can have the peas you pick,” he said.  I carried my peas home and pulled out the pea-shelling pan. Now, most of you may not have a pea-shelling pan, but ...

I filled up Grandpa’s bird feeder and as I closed the lid, I thought of all the days I’d watched birds come to eat at it when I visited him. The tears gathered in my eyes. I’d give it back to him in a heartbeat if I could see him again. I longed for one more hour to enjoy wat...

The morning snow on the ground gave way to brown grass by dinner time (at 1:30.) But the air is still chilly so I prepared to cook some soup while I was home. But first I gave the dogs a little extra food, put some more bird seed out for my cardinal and other bird friends then zipped some tea ...

Well, we managed to dodge the snowballs again. I'm not happy over it either. North Mississippi got it Monday, South Mississippi got it Thursday, maybe our turn is coming. Hopefully Sunday will bring a better chance of the fluffy white stuff. Oh well ... there is always spring break.

The moon rising in the sun set was pretty this brisk winter day. Of course it also helped that old glory was flapping in the breeze too. This was taken by the Pontotoc Public Safety Center on Liberty Street.
