Well...it was such a beautiful winter day on Thursday, we got busy and pruned the blueberry bushes.  I told you that they get pruned when they are dormant, when the flower buds and leaf buds are tiny.  No pictures of them, but...

 

As we were tossing the cut branches out into the driveway, Jon heard a snuffling noise across the road.  We looked up and saw this armadillo digging under the leaves.  All we could see was his back, and the leaves moving ahead of him.  (I HOPE it was a HIM, definitely don't want "rolls" of these things around.)  It took about 5 minutes and 10 pictures to finally see his head.  For perspective, I guess he weighs about 5 pounds.  Bag of flour?  Yeah, about that, maybe a little bigger.  EEK!!!

 

I bet Gizmo has seen him, but this was the first time for me.  I thought they lived in Texas.  

 

HAPPY FEBRUARY!!!
