First Hard Freeze

November 30, 2024 It got down to 23 degrees F last night. When I got up to take Nox outside, the backyard was still covered in frost. I took some close up pictures of henbit covered with frost. The frost had started melting in the front yard. I am not sure what these weeds are. […]

My “Real” Alabama Diver’s License Came Today

November 25, 2024 I walked down to the mailbox and found three pieces of mail. One was my plastic star driver’s license from the state of Alabama! I won’t have to use the paper copy they gave me before leaving the DMV. I really like how my picture looks. Most of the time, my picture […]
