Last week has been a bit unusual when it comes to weather. Last Monday we had a 2 hour delay for Schools and Government Institutions, ordered by our Governor of Georgia. The reason for this delay was, the considerable drop in weather temperatures after having several days of rain, it was expected to be frozen at early morning. Many roads being still flooded if they freeze, would be potentially, extremely dangerous. Then, by 3:oo pm it was sunny and low 50’s F!

On Wednesday, at 4:34 am a 4.4 magnitude earthquake rattled Georgia! And, we had frost covering everything. How weird can it get?
By noon all the frost was gone, the sun was shining and the temperature is near 40º F. For my son Tyler it was a great experience, it was his first time to sense an earthquake!
I was glad to see a Purple Finch for the first time in my backyard!
New addition for Mondays!
Northern cardinals are numerous across the eastern United States from Maine to Texas and in Canada in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Its range extends west to the U.S.–Mexico border and south through Mexico to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, northern Guatemala, and northern Belize. An allopatric population is found on the Pacific slope of Mexico from Jalisco to Oaxaca; note that this population is not shown on the range map. The species was introduced to Bermuda in 1700. It has also been introduced in Hawaii and southern California. Its natural habitat is in woodlands, gardens, shrublands, and wetlands.
