Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch home of Carol's Pond

November 10, 2020


Well, the blog is up and running at: Carolspond.blogspot.com


I will be on FB for about a week and then I will deactivate my account. And then all news from Carol's Pond will be on the blog. Speaking of the blog, nothing will be tracked and their will not be any advertisements on it.


There is a new network that I may look into. It is: https://parler.com/auth/access and they say no censorship etc.


But in the mean time, fall colors are finally beginning to show up here at Carol's Pond. Many of the trees have yet to turn but there is some color.


Sunday night I had to chase Samantha out with a shoe. She was wanting to move in. That is not acceptable. Whitey has been here about everyday and he even tried to take over the turtles log. The turtles did not care but another Great White Egret came along and chased him off the log. But he was back on it the next day. One day there were 3 Great White Egrets flying across the pond. Cold weather up north must be driving them this way.


I have not seen any ducks this season. There are not any resident ducks on Carol's Pond and we do not have Canada Geese here. Occasionally there will be 4 or 5 ducks stop in, eat, rest and move on.


A couple of people suggested I look into software that will translate voice to text. I will investigate and see. I would like to be able to try it before buying it. The Parkinson's Disease adversely effects ones throat muscles and thus the voice. My voice goes up and down the scale like a teenagers. I would like to know if the software can handle that modulation.




Later,

Rex

    Keep on writing this, or whatever method it take to continue with Carol's Pond stories. It's nice that you can share a little bit of what's happening at your place
    in Texas.

Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch home of Carol's Pond March 7, 2021 Hopefully hibernation season is over. It appears that spring has sprung. There were a lot of daffodils blooming in the side ditch but a hard rain beat about all of the blooms off the stems. But more popped up, including the ones in Carol's yard. Also there are tiny white flowers and some blue and purple ones as well and of course my favorite, dandelions. During that cold snap, Carol's Pond froze over and that is not acceptable at all. Mother Nature are you listening? There were several ducks that stuck around most of the winter, but I have not seen them today. They were very fast swimmers, fast enough to create a good wake behind them. I dubbed them the Shore Patrol. Those of you that were in the military know what the shore patrol is. For those that weren't, it is Naval Military Police. There has also been a darter around this spring. A darter is a type of cormorant and its feathers a...

  February 1, 2022 Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch Home of Carol's Pond The last week of January is my anniversary week. Some of them are enjoyable anniversaries and some suck really bad. That may be gross but it is the only way to say it. But before we get to the description of the anniversaries, there is some other news. Last week I looked in the back yard and there were hundreds of Purple Grackles or common blackbirds. I assume there are working their way north in anticipation of spring. I hope they are right. And there were some ducks that stopped in today. There were only 5 or 6. Something startled them and off they went. I seldom see ducks. Lake Bob Sandlin is on the west side of Mt. Pleasant and I suspect most stop there rather than on a small pond. Also last week, I had an MRI of my head and received some excellent news. The scan did NOT indicate Lewy-Body Dementia. LB is a very aggressive type of dementia. I will have 2 more scans to try and determin...

  Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch home of Carol's Pond April 10, 2022 We had a rip roaring thunderstorm about 10 days ago. There was very heavy rain, but Goat Island is still Goat Peninsula. I think Mother Nature is mad at me for mooning her on New Years Eve. If she doesn't bring us sufficient rain soon, I may moon her again. The drought has killed several of the trees, 7 trees may have to be removed. I am going to give them a couple of more weeks to see if they leaf out but if they don't, I will have them removed. There were some travelers that stayed on the pond for a couple of weeks, resting up before continuing on their migration. I don't know what type of ducks they were. They would dive down to feed and come up some other place. I would like to see them stick around all year. Samantha, Sam, Sam Jr. and Bill provided the entertainment this morning. Samantha was at the west end of the deck, bobbing up and down trying to attract Sam. Sam was at the...
