A spoonful of sugar helps the wildlife biology go down.

There are many different species of armadillos in two main suborders and several genera. I was going to do the “Pink Fairy Armadillo” today, but the boys all wanted the Big Hairy.

I’d never heard of a Big Hairy Armadillo, much less a Pink Fairy one.

I always enjoy reading about or watching documentaries on wildlife, probably a holdover from my childhood. My dad made sure we had plenty of books around that taught about it. We never had a set of encyclopedias, but my dad made sure we had books that stimulated our curiosity. Enough so that we were granted “Adult” library cards when we were just barely out of grade school. Or maybe still in it... ;o]

Humor from my days in Houston.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To show the armadillo that it was actually possible.

Everybody, sing!

Armadillo, Armadillo,
Softer than a rock,
Harder than a pillow.

Earliest sighting of cardinal...atop my snow covered stockade...beautiful contrast of the brilliant scarlet against the all w...hite background. (not easy getting innocuous common words into a thread without getting death threats from various alphabet groups)...gone before I reached the phone.
