Well, after looking at the days on the side of my blog, I think I may have deleted Tuesday the 13th HMMMM. So much for Tuesday I guess, I think that was the day we came down from Missouri. I may be able to recreate it if I need to.
Today, we are planning on going to the Crosby Arboretum in Picayune with Rick and Connie.
This is part of the Arboretum. Picture place.
This is the only goose we saw but look at all the turtles!! I didn’t try to count them but we were given bags of food at the entrance to the Arboretum. They were a lot of fun to feed and watch.
There were many different types of foliage and flowers and plants. All these pictures are ones that Linda took with “her” camera.

These were pretty neat flowers (?). They are actually insect eating plants. The straight ones have an opening at the top and the insects go in and can’t get back out, settlers used them in their houses to keep the flies etc down. Ingenious.
Now I am from up north and I found this interesting. The ground looks dry but there is water about 6 feet underneath. The mud piles with the holes in them (I thought they were termite dens) are actually Crawdad dens (?) We didn’t see any but they are important for the bogs. Maybe this is why they call them “mudbugs”. The walk was long but worth it. We stopped at Burger King afterward for a little lunch. Brought a burger back for Aunt Virgie. She enjoyed that.
