Yep, I've spotted some of the changes taking place Ted. The pigeons across the road have already been 'Getting it on' but why they have to do it in full view on the top of the lamp post at the end of our cul-de-sac I'll never know......Lucky buggers!...I'd never get Mrs Fox up there.... She's so boring sometimes....

Ted, you inspired me to take a good look around the yard this afternoon. It is going to be a fast winter. Autumn finally arrived in the Gulf Coast the last week of December, when the leaves on the wax and crepe myrtles finally turned amber before letting go in a gale-force cold front.

We are still hosting all of our usual snowbirds, with have two pairs of goldeneyes and a loon that have taken up residence along the bank behind the house and starlings gathering in the trees every sunset, but the first signs of the bulbs and elephant ears are promising.

Thank you for the happy report!

Blue tits are checking out the bird box in my garden, Daffodils are in bloom, snowdrops are out.

This topic has given me a spring in my step!😁
