Always was a character ! Called me once ( I used to sell strings mail order and at jams) : " This here's the Po-leece ? One of us is Frank Wakefield, an' I don't think it's you." I responded: "Well, Boy howdy , it sure ain't me - so thet Wakefield feller ? Must be you."

I was never a Dead Head, but-after listening to that -------------Wow ! Fellow I know slightly- Frank Wakefield- used to sit in with the Dead. He's mostly known for his Mandolin: one of the best players of all time.

Visit from "resident" Cooper's Hawk this morning. It perched very quietly in a next door tree, and spent about 15 minutes doing all the usual "bird things" (preening, scratching at fleas or mites, fertilizing the lawn), then "launched" like a rocket into the next yard. I couldn't see him...

Yeah, well: she's kind of a bitch....:(

Mmm... Let me try this method of posting photo: (Actually, I doubt pictures of a "Mardi-Mutt" in the Pines could replace those "Flashing" ladies on the balconies in NO.)

Otherwise known as.......MARDI GRAS !! Can you imagine celebrating Mardi Gras in the Pines ? <a href="http://s468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/mrmeangenes/?action=view&amp;current=mardigrasmutt.jpg" target="_blank"><img...

Sorry ! I tend to be a literal person-rather than a littoral one--and find it hard to resist a truly bad pun !

(My variation) Young girl, young girl Don't lie to me: Tell me , where Did you sleep last night ?? In the pines,in the pines Where the sun never shines An' I'll be there again Tonight. Young girl, young girl Come tell me true: Tell me what have I done To you ?? Old man, old man You're...

Does ----your----Sarracenia lose its Flava On the bedpost overnight- And the Moderator says : " Don't chew it ! " Do you swallow it in spite ?

Quick follow-up: not sure what I saw. Was driving south on Rte 322 near the northern Corkery Rd. interchange yesterday (02/16/12) and saw a "big-ass bird" flapping away. Though at first it might be a buzzard -but wing action seemed different. Big raptor, such as Osprey or Eagle ?? Looked again...

I looked at the pictures of Minette - "peeking out the window" - and all I could think was: In the Pines In the Pines Where the sun never shines- I shivered when the cold winds blowed. Oo-o-ooo, Oo-o-ooo Oo-o-ooo, ooo-ee --- I shivered when the cold winds blowed.

Sorry , folks ! My family is at fault. I got my son a top of the line snow blower for Christmas , and some fool sealed our fates by buying my Granddaughter the pair of snow boots she had been craving.

I should clarify ! The photo depicted a "smiling" owl perched on the base of a fallen tree - and it occurred to me it would probably "go viral" with a caption - something like this : "Seeking vainly to attract a mate, Larry chopped down yet another tree..."

What a fantastic shot !!! Are you the photographer who copyrighted it ? (I wish I could use it on my (mostly family-read ) blog !)

Great shot !!

Quick follow-up : Saw reports today Snowy Owls might be headed our way. Apparently, there was a population explosion of these beauties a year or so back, and, needing extra room, some of the owls began migrating further south.

Regrettably, much of my wildlife viewing is through the picture window these days (health issues) but I do get to watch the ducks and geese fly to work (here in Gloucester County) ; and I do get to watch some of the local raptors at work. There is a Cooper's Hawk that displays a "stealth"...

Thanks for the information !

I know Folsom, NJ isn't QUITE in the Barrens - even though I pass a small section of Atlantic County Barrens just to get there---BUT : How on earth did Folsom get its name ?:rolleyes:
