Early Log Cabin

Catawba Indian Village

The Schiele Museum of Natural History

When taking a hike along The Schiele Museum’s Nature Trail, one of the areas you come across is the Catawba Indian Village. A part of the Village are different types of dwellings including a couple of Early Log Cabins.

Curious as Coleman is naturally he likes to enter and investigate anything and everything he possibly can.

This is the view you first see of the cabin when entering the Catawba Indian Village.

2025 CFFC: September 02 — Time of Day_Night

A Stop

on a

Weary Trip

Nighttime is not a time when I venture out anywhere, my vision no longer allows me to see clearly to drive or walk any distance. Hence, I ventured back through time in my archives to a time when I was out at night (after dark).

The images I have chosen are from one extremely weary day back in January of 2019. It was a sad and weary time for traveling. These were taken at the Mississippi Welcome Center where my daughter and I stopped to rest and stretch our legs before heading back home from our trip to Plano, Texas.

2025 Sunday Stills: 08.31 — Things (Home) under Construction

Home Renovation

Under Construction

Our neighbour’s home has been under construction for a major renovation project since springtime. The whole inside was gutted and renovations began with brand new plumbing, wiring, electrical, and such forth (basically taken down to the bare roots of the building).

We’ve been quietly watching the workers coming and going every day except Saturday and Sunday until recently. Now workers are working almost every single day. The owners come by every Thursday/Friday evening to check on the construction progress. I know they are anxious to be able to get back into their home.

2025 Weekend FOTD: 08.30/.31

Clematis terniflora

Sweet Autumn Clematis is a fast growing deciduous perennial vine which is adored for its masses of small, fragrant white flowers in late summer and fall. The Sweet Autumn Clematis plants are in abundance everywhere around here.

While being appreciated for their beautiful flowers which grow vigorously and abundantly, they are considered an invasive plant species in many parts of the Eastern and Midwestern United States. The plants aggressive self-seeding and rapid growth can lead to it escaping cultivation and outcompeting native vegetation.

with Eremnophila aureonotata *wasp*

The Clematis terniflora (Sweet autumn clematis) flowers are excellent magnets for attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. As you can see from the images it also attracts wasps like the
Eremnophila aureonotata, aka the gold-marked thread-waisted wasp. The Eremnophila aureonotata are in the family Sphecidae (“thread-waisted wasps”) which belong to the order of Hymenoptera (“ants, bees, wasps and sawflies”).

Venus – Jupiter Visible Shortly Before Sunrise

Weekend Sky

Six Word Saturday

Skywatch Friday

Early every morning when Coleman and I walk to the bus stop we look up in wonder at the Morning Sky.

Most mornings lately we have had cloudy skies; some white clouds and some dark thunderous clouds, but today not so.

Today, the skies were clear with “stars” shining brightly. What I did not realize until after Coleman was on the bus and I was back home was that the brightest “Stars” we were seeing were not actually “Star” at all.

What we really saw in the early morning skies were the planets Venus, Jupiter and more dazzling images.

Donkey Greets Coleman as we walk the trails at the Anne Springs Close Greenway from the Dairy Barn Entrance. The afternoon turned a little bit windy with the skies cloudy, but it was still a beautiful day for a walk/hike.
