Gary drove me to the Milam Wildscape in the storm through back roads, which were safe. In addition to the snow, the Wildscape had also just recently received 9 inches of rain, but it held!!
Enjoy some photos of the wintry wildscape!

I went to the Wildscape to care for an ill and loyal garden cat.
Master Naturalist Kim went too. After caring for the cat, I found Kim at the frog pond which was very dirty and dry and snakey.
She got it back in shape.
A lot of plants are blooming.
Email me for hours, plants, or go visit Friday or Saturday morning!

Last Saturday, Master Naturalists Donna, Sandra, Carolyn and Scott weeded and cleaned at the Milam Wildscape Project. Linda Jo did more BioBlitzing.
Email me if you need some hours or come visit to get free plants. Enjoy the photos!

Today, Cathy is sharing some of the wildlife she’s found around her home outside of Rockdale. That moth is amazing, isn’t it? We hope you enjoy this photo essay!
From top left, clockwise: Gulf Coast Toad and toad house, black witch moth (I think), wolf spider, milk snails, leopard frog.
Snake adventures at our house continue.
Sami the dachshund found a copperhead by our back door. Yes, it is gone.
I have too many outdoor pets to worry about. We see more snakes because we are outdoor people. We have been lucky except for one year when we had 18 copperheads around our house.
Later today, we found Sandy had also been bitten.
Warrior Princess!
