Welcome To Spring!!

Hope everybody is have a good start to Spring. Spring in Tyndall started off with a thunderstorm early sunday morning. It was nice to see the lightning, hear the thunder, and watch is down pour. It really rained hard for a while.
Tonight our area is even under a severe weather risk. Already!... This is only the second day of spring and there predicting severe weather?!
Have a great week!!

Here is a nice Spring picture.

The Beautiful Peacock

I thought I would share some pictures of my peacock with his tail all fanned out! It is a beautiful sight to see!
This past week's weather was very nice, also. Hoping that it sticks around for awhile. Tyndall hit around 73 on Wednesday, I think that was the day!

Our trip is getting ever so close, I am getting very excited. I really wish it would come faster! I am also getting very excited that school is done in 2 MONTHS!! Can't believe it.

Have a great weekend. ~David

It's beginning to feel a lot like ...Spring!!

Well...I sure hope this weather sticks around for the next few.... well lets hope months! 
High school golf starts this week, which I am very excited about. And it looks like these temps. will be a very good start to the season. 
Last week I finally got my birds' pens cleaned, one thing off my check list. Then next thing I have to do is make their nest boxes, as laying season is right around the corner. Then I got more of a real task. I am going to research our trip destination to figure out where I want to go.
O... and another thing, enjoy this last week of winter! 

ON THIS DAY: Today is Pi Day! Celebrate pi which is  the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.  Since that mathematical constant is about 3.14, March 14 became the day to observe it. 

Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Eagle Cams

I have been searching the internet lately and found a few eagle cams where you can watch Bald Eagles lay their eggs all the way up to when the chicks leave the nest. Here are the links:

Bald Eagles

During the winter months a group of Bald Eagles come to stay with the Tyndall community. They stay a few miles out of town, where they are fed (dead pig from hog farmers) and have nice big houses (big shelter belts). At one time I have counted up to 30 Bald Eagles at a time. Here are a few pictures I have taken of the Eagles

A Bald Eagle eying me.

Here is a picture of two Eagles, the Bald Eagle on the right and an unknown Eagle
on the left, my guess is that it is either a Golden Eagle or a immature Bald Eagle.

This is South Dakota for Ya!!

Well another winter storm has rolled through, hopefully get down to the last few storms. This storm brought frigid temperatures of as low as -30 at one time! I saw on the news of Rapid City have a -52 degree wind chill. That is pure South Dakota weather. Today almost felt like a heat wave! Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer! The nice thing about winter weather is that I get a lot of money from scooping the neighbor ladies' sidewalk. I have made around $800 this winter. I only have $90 left for my trip! During this past storm I caught a glimpse of Sun-dogs.

     Recently I was talking to Survivors Holly Hoffman via Facebook and I asked if she would send me her autograph. Well, today I got it in the mail and it was more than what I expected, I received a picture too!

Happy 2011

Well it been a while since I have posted, so I think I better post something. I can't believe it's 2011 already! Today I was back to school for the second half of the year. The holiday season seemed to fly by real fast. About a week before Christmas grandma Svanda was admitted to the hospital because her heart was racing, she got out a few day before christmas. While she was in the hospital I did all of her baking for her including Carmel Corn, a type of chex mix called White Christmas Trash and M&M Cookies.
I got what I wanted for Christmas, MONEY!!

The week we got back from DC, I got real interested in model planes, so I got a few models of airlines that I have been on. That led me into making a model airport. For Christmas I got another plane. These are some pictures of my airport.

This is the plane I got for Christmas.

This year Mom and I another trip. One of our friend might be going on the trip too. It's another bus trip. That all the information I am going to give you, it's still a secret. When the time comes closer I will tell you.
