Today we moved part of our stuff into a “new to us” house across the county approximately 9.1 miles away from where we were living for the past couple of years.
This means a new school for Coleman, a need to find a new church home, and new adventures roaming the neighbourhood and surrounding areas. Also new neighbours, new friendships to build.
However, with packing and moving tensions between family heightens and misunderstandings occur. Even with all that, Coleman and I are looking forward to new adventures the new neighbourhood and city can bring us.

For the Lenten Season which began on February 18th, I decided what better selection than the Narcissus pseudonarcissus to post. The Narcissus pseudonarcissus, is commonly referred to as the wild daffodil or Lent Lily.
I captured this Lent Lily with my iPhone in February of 2024 (during the Lenten season) at The Schiele Museum of Natural History. It was growing in The Farm area near one of the historic cabins.

Coming out of the U.S. Postal Service building what caught my eye was not the building itself, but what was displayed in the corner of the landscaping in front of the building.
From my sidewalk view … left of the flagpole stood a military cannon. [I didn’t expect to see the cannon on display at the post office.]

The Parasaurolophus is a North American dinosaur which could walk on either two or all four legs. It grazed on plants like pine needles and leaves. Its name means “lizard crest”, (A Crest is a hollow, bony tube extending from the back of its skull.) it uses its crest for producing low, trumpet-like sounds to communicate, attract mates, or warn of danger.

Crotalus adamanteus
While visiting The Schiele Museum of Natural History, we paused to check out the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake .
The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake is also known by Crotalus adamanteus (its Binomial name).
It is a species of pit vipers belonging to the family Viperidae. They are indigenous to the Southeastern United States of America.
It is the largest rattlesnake species and one of the more heavily venomous snakes in the Americas.
This Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake is safely encased behind a large glass window and is accessible by the staff. The staff do occasionally bring out various snakes and other animals for educational purposes.

Tuesday was another free night at the Museum. Free nights are on the second (2nd) Tuesday each month curtesy of Duke Energy. I captured these doors with my iPhone as we walked through the museum.
We walked through every hallway and corridor viewing everything even though we’ve been there several times before.
Coleman zooms around every corner and nook and cranny faster than I can possibly imagine catching up with him.
Soaring past this doorway and that doorway all the way to the final door to exit the museum.

The Didelphis virginiana, also known as the Virginia opossum, the North American opossum, and is commonly referred to as the possum.
The Opossum is a solitary nocturnal marsupial typically about the size of a domestic cat. They frequently inhabit areas near food sources like trash cans, compost piles, pet food, and gardens. (If you live in a home with an unused dryer vent opening it’d be wise to close it off, possums will and have come into homes via those vents.)
Not only have I seen Opossums come into a home we lived in, we have also known them to eat pet food we have set outside for cats and dogs.
Have you encountered Opossums in your areas? This one is housed at The Schiele Museum of Natural History to help educate visitors about the habits and behaviors.
