Searcy AR grows. Library grows also.Barbara S Duncan, that's me, presented a lovely drawing of Searcy's first library to Darla Ino, Library Director of the White County Regional Library System.  The present library (remember it is moving to a larger one) did not have a picture of the first library which was small and charming in Spring Park.  Barbara offered them this framed print and they seemed glad to have it. It will be displayed in their "historic" room that has lots of interesting items.  I, Barbara, just wrote a blog with a postcard picture of the library.  Click to see it https://activerain.com/droplet/HZDy and from there you my go back further and see more about its construction.

For the first time in more than four decades a baby lion has been born at the Roosevelt Park Zoo in Minot North Dakota.Look at the paws on this little cub. The newspaper report failed to mention if the cub is male, or female so I will let you know in a later post. I would guess that they will have a "naming" contest to generate even more interest. Here is a pick of mom and baby.Regretfully the cub had two siblings who did not survive the birthing process.

Wordless Wednesday…Feeding Time! At the Bird BNB better known as Casa Streib, we have 4 chicks that hatched last week. Larry mounted a camera in the top of the bluebird box to monitor the health of the eggs and chicks, and yes…we’re nosy and curious!                                       This is a video of Daddy Bluebird (I think it’s daddy) feeding the babies. The video is only 14 seconds long but if you stay…about halfway through you’ll see Daddy remove the Fecal Sac aka diaper aka poop bag. Larry took this photo of the bird with the Fecal Sac just as it exited the Bluebird box. Faith is the bird that feels the light whenthe dawn is still dark.

Good Friday is an important part of Holy Week. While initially the worst day for Christian believers in Jesus Christ at the time when crucifixion and death occurred, God's victory over sin and the grave on Resurrection Sunday gives hope of eternal life for all.Quite simply, Good Friday is the anniversary of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross 2000 years ago.It may seem odd that Christians "celebrate" the death anniversary of Jesus, the son of God and Savior of the world. Yet it is an important event to remember. For although Jesus is God, he also became a man on earth and died (or paid the price) for all the sins of humanity.By dying once for everyone else's sins (He had none of His own), and then being resurrected from the dead, those who believe in Him can ask for and receive His f...

As a pet owner and outdoors enthusiast, this information is invaluable. Check your body, check your skin, and check your pets, especially after you have been out walking in wooded areas. Ticks are known to carry Lyme disease amongst other pathogens that can cause deadly diseases for us and our animals.Stay safe out there.  Ticks Out Early in Maryland A mild El Niño winter in Maryland means ticks are out early and may already be attaching themselves to dogs — and you — and potentially spreading serious diseases. The emergence of ticks, carriers of Lyme disease, babesiosis and other diseases, is usually a mid-spring occurrence, but even in typically wintry Minnesota, deer ticks were out in early February, according to pest-control officials in the Twin Cities.

Get Out of My House - Diddly Squat!  Squatting is real, despite some cynics, who assume it is fake news. Owners are getting killed, others may have to forgo a lengthy legal battle to get the criminals out of their property. A woman, beaten to death by squatters, was found by her 19-year old son, shoved into a duffle bag in the back of a closet of her home. Read this story: Two arrested in Pennsylvania after New York squatters allegedly killed woman, stuffed her in duffel bag A soldier was deployed for a year to Poland. He was weeks away from coming back home home to his home in Decatur, Georgia, when the property manager called and told home someone had illegally broke in, changed the keys and several people were living there. He called the police 4 times, they were unable to do anythin...
