My hiking friend and I went on a five mile hike on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain on Thursday. The weather was almost shirtsleeve warm. We saw this great blue heron fishing in one of the ponds. All I had was my cell phone so sorry about the graininess.
After almost a year together our two dogs, Kodi the Pom, and Sadie the Terrier have almost started playing together. I guess if this were human kids it would be called adjacent play. They seem to enjoy each other’s company now.
Kodi hides under this table when my wife is gone. He always has such a tragic expression.
Lizzie checking on the goings on out in front of the house.
This fiberglass penguin has its own geocache.
Winter Storm Fern came to northeast Oklahoma last night. This was the scene this morning. Not too bad. Not even an inch of snow. We are supposed to get more later on today and tonight.
And the backyard. Kodi the Pom got up this morning and went outside and did his business. He loves snow. Sadie is having a hard time. She wouldn’t do her business last night so she needed out at 3 am. I took her out and she peed and ran back into the house. She was in a world of hurt this morning. She needed to poop bad but wouldn’t go outside and wouldn’t go on a pad in the house. Finally I carried her out and plopped her in the middle of the yard and she saw a squirrel and she ran after it, completely forgetting about the snow, and then did her business. She felt so much better, she was running around the yard. (Sorry if this is TMI.)
We have a steady stream of visitors to the efeeder. Here is a short 12 second video of a male and female cardinal and a dark eyed junco taking advantage of the suet and seeds that I put out for them.
That’s it for now. We are staying home today and maybe tomorrow depending on road conditions. If you are in the winter storm, please stay safe.
I am linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters. Lots of great bloggers post there, check them out.
Love the Heron scene! It is nice your two dogs are becoming friends, about time.
I like your bird feeder and cam. we are supposed to get snow/ice late tonight into tomorrow.

…stay warm and well.
Kodi, Sadie and Lizzie are always cute. Hoping that Lizzie gets along with both of them. Enjoyed the activity at the bird feeder. Nice lake scene with the heron and that penguin sculpture is really nice. Snow expected here in a few hours. I’m curious as to how much we will get and keeping fingers crossed the power doesn’t go out. Hope all will be well with you and your family, humans and furry ones.
Funny, they don’t play together!
I do like that birdcam!
What lovely photos of your two dogs.
The cat is sweet too.
A snowstorm seems very intense to me.
We’ve had a very cold winter this year too, with lots of snow. Now there’s no snow anymore, but it is freezing.
I wish you a beautiful Sunday.
Greetings Irma
The great blue heron shot is wonderful, and it’s sweet to see Kodi and Sadie finally becoming buddies.
I enjoyed seeing the Cardinals and Junco on your video.
