In a sure sign that spring is not far behind, the first purple martins of the year have been spotted in Mississippi.
The birds were seen on Jan. 31 in Gautier, Mississippi, by a purple martin enthusiast – one of many throughout the eastern and central United States who track and report on the birds’ annual migration on behalf of the Purple Martin Conservation Association (PMCA). The migration of these unique birds can be reported and tracked through a community science project called the Scout-Arrival Study.

As predicted, the ice came, in buckets, so the forecast was a reality this time. As I told you last week, we were unconcerned for our comfort as we had that wonderful, ideal Honeywell generator that would save us from the freezing and bitter cold and from darkness.
My husband and grandson, Sam, checked both ours and their generators the day before the chill became a reality so we thought we were set for whatever came our way.

Did you expect such weather in Mississippi?
I hope all of you made it through the low temperatures, icy roads, breaking ice covered branches, and falling trees unscathed!
Everyone was busy trying to keep warm, keep chickens safe from freezing, providing shelter and warmth for dogs and cats outside, and at the same time keep freezers full of food from thawing and ruining.

A plant is no better than what it grows in. Got good dirt…er, potting soil?
I had a dream the other night, vivid enough to wake me to text myself a morning reminder; however, the next morning I found this message on my phone: pit t soi imdian mods. Took a while to figure out that it was a reminder that, decades ago while working in the MSU horticulture greenhouses, we used soil partly excavated from ancient Indian mounds.
