ABC Wednesday - I! (Aye, aye, aye!)

Ice?  No.... 

Melting snow?  Yes!

This fellow appeared in our yard last week.  :-)  

He's been making a "Clean Sweep" of the snow.

Today he looks like this!

Keep in mind this is March... the tail end of Winter, here.

We will surely receive a little more snow, but it won't last long!

In the meantime,

Aye, Yi-Yi-Yi!

This is what I spotted this morning after taking the photo above!

Signs of  Spring!

Have a Great Day!!

ABC Wednesday - I is for Incredible

This week's word begins with

Incredible is a good word to describe the bird in my backyard.

It cannot fly.

It makes not a sound.

It has no thirst or desire to eat.

Incongruous is another word that might describe this fellow.

He's been standing outdoors in the same spot for the entire winter!

Perhaps Intrepid would describe him as well. 

He fears not the neighborhood cat.

He's as cute as can be!

Infraterritorial?

Yes,
Informidable

At any rate, he deserves a good moniker.

Got one for him??

:-)

Thanks for your visit.  

Thanks for your suggestion!

You can tour the gardens anytime during the growing season, however the gardens are planned

to "peak" during the Iowa State Fair.

And I'm not sure I realized this was AT the fair!  Next time!

Another couple of reasons to visit Iowa! ;-)
