A cold, puffed up, White-throated Sparrow ...

It's been a real roller coaster last week, weather-wise, I mean. Some mornings were frosty, others almost 'balmy' at 62 F!

We're not doing much at the moment, staying inside more often and saving the touristy stuff for when it gets warmer.
We've been working on this bugger of a puzzle for weeks now, but finally finished it this week! Yeah! 



There's just too much snow, and branches, and on top of that this puzzle is made of featherlight, (thin) foam, so the pieces shift when you as much as breathe on it. Not good, especially when you have a 'helpful' cat in the house!

Also, I had so many beads left-over after decorating the awning that I hang the rest on the inside:

 I know, it's cringe-worthy gaudy but ... 'this the season'!

Mm, let's see, what else did we do?
Oh, yea, we went to the Hammond movie theater to see Star Wars! For 135 minutes, the 'Force' was with us again!

We never go to the theater so we really enjoyed seeing a movie like this on the 'big' screen again, with sounds to match, ... fun!

Other than that, there really hasn't been much going on this week, I have a few more bird pictures, and that is it:

Eastern Bluebird (female)

And the back-end of a Rufous-sided Towee

And I never see any ducks in the Bayou but this week this pretty Gadwall showed up ...

This coming weekend we'll probably go and see another Mardi Gras parade somewhere, the carnival season is still in full swing, so I bet I'll have more pictures next time!
