Tuesday Trivia

 

 

 


 The Swallows are back!!!   Every year I wait and watch for them. This one seems to be scolding the little one ( the picture is from the internet and I'd say the one is a juvenile.)



On our morning walk we noticed many mole hills and we started wondering where they stay all winter. Apparently they do not hibernate. They dig down below the frost line. Here's some more information that I gleaned.

 One mole can create up to 150 feet of tunnels in just one day. Discharged mounded soil and heaved runways are indicators of the mole's presence. A mole's diet consists of earthworms, grubs, and other insects. These insectivores can almost eat their entire body weight on a daily basis.

If you have clear skies tonight watch for the full moon. March's moon has 2 names that I found___Worm Moon and also Sugar Moon. I prefer the second one. It's called sugar because this is the time when Sugar Maples are tapped and sap buckets begin to fill.  
It's been a while since I treated myself to some lovely Maple Syrup. Maybe it's  time to put it on my grocery list again. What do you like on your pancakes and waffles? 

That's it once again.  Thanks for visiting!!
