This Morning I went out in my back Yard to fill my bird feeders so the birds could enjoy their Thanksgiving day.
When I was done I looked over at my veggie garden and seen peppers That could be picked, so I walked over there and to my surprise I was able to pick 7 green peppers.
Now I need to deside to have stuffed peppers or chop them up and freeze them for my chili. pizza and what ever I cook. Here is a picture of the Green Peppers.
I was just outside placing some dirt up agaist my vinyl fence when all of a sudden a strange noise was above me and I looked up and the sky was full of starlings.
All I could think about was the Movie "The Birds". and felt like I don't dare move afraid of being attacked, It was amazing to see so many and even hear the wings flapping they were so low over head,
I didn't have my phone with me to capture it and found this video on Youtube to share information about this.
I Just Happened to look out my back window this evening and to my surprise I seen a huge black bear walking in my property behind the fencing. The fencing back there is 5 ft tall and it was on all 4's and it's back reached the top rail of fence.
Now I'm wondering if this isn't what took my sunflower seeder last night.
Here is a picture I tried to take going out in the screened patio and I'm sure he heard me and turned and went back down into the Valley below..
If you look by the gate towards the left you can see him ,sorry it wasn't clearer. my neighbors say they have never seen one in our small sub.
This Morning I walked out my back door into the screened Patio and looked up and seen this beautiful Luna Month,
I have been told many never get a chance to see one. Last year I seen one on my bushes that I had planted , and wasn't able to get a picture, this time I did.
From what I've read they don't have a long life span.
Egg to wings: 51 weeks; Wings to dead: 1 week.
LUNA MOTH SYMBOLISM, LUNA MOTH MEANING
Change. Most common is an anticipation of change - either change your life, or your life will be changed - active or passive. Change.
According to one internet posting (its source unattributed) Luna moths are associated with intuition, psychic perception and increased awareness. My own opinion is that sightings are so rare and so striking that whenever we see a Luna moth our thoughts seek out some event in our own life to create meaning..
My Garden is doing well. The Tomato Plant is as tall as I am. that's not saying much, I'm short lol.
More and more tomatoes are showing, right now all are still green.
After picking my one nice size green pepper I have more coming. Can't wait until I have enough to make stuffed peppers.
My zucinni plant is flowered and zucinni starting to show
A look at my shed from the Garden area. You can get more of a idea how the back yard slopes down towards the back and then drops down into the valley below.
Tonight after sundown I walked out my screened patio in my Back yard and seen the
Lightning Bugs blinking in the yard, What a beautiful site to see .
The name FireFly is more common of the name for them in the west and New England area.
Down here in the south along with the midwest we call them Lightning Bugs, and Fireflies
What Do you call them?
Here is a video showing them in the great Smokey Mountains near by that people come from all over to see them, you get more of a idea what it's like here
