Week 9 Observations

2.26.25

Roseate Spoonbill

Platalea ajaja

Though I took these at the zoo at the beginning of the month, I did spot one in a drainage ditch today while running errands!

They are native to Texas, breeding here, Louisiana and Florida. While some also winter here, most will migrate to Central and South America.

They are (currently) protected under the US Migratory Bird Act.

They get their pretty pink tones from the food they eat which contains the same organic pigment found in tomatoes, carrots and pumpkin.

At the turn of the 20th century, their beautiful, pink feathers were used in women’s fashion and were highly prized.

They often sleep standing on one leg and will swing their heads back and forth as they walk.

2.28.25

Seductive Entodon Moss

Entodon seductrix

Observed in St. Peters on 2.28.25 and it is native to Missouri.

This is a very hearty and versatile moss. It can grow (quickly) and survive in dry or wet areas, sun or shade, concrete, logs, and acidic soil.

Animals use it to make nests including birds, mice and even bumblebees!

It grows in dense mats making it good to use for moss lawns, green roofs and living walls.

They have red capsules that grow upright from the stems.

3.1.25

Star Magnolia

Magnolia stellata

Observed in Old Monroe, MO 3.1.25. And 3.30.15.

10 years ago we buried Grandma and today we had to say goodbye to Grandpa. This tree stands outside of the their church where the services were held. 10 years ago it was already in full bloom that happens each spring before the leaves grow. This year the flowers hadn’t bloomed yet but it will be soon.

It’s nonnative to Missouri but not invasive. It is native in Japan.

It can be pruned to a typical tree shape or left alone for a bushy look. When pruned it gives off a lemon scent.

3.2.25

Stringy Stonecrop

Sedum sarmentosum

Observed in Old Monroe, MO 2.28.25. I’ve spent my whole life visiting my grandparents at the same house and this may have been my last time to ever walk their backyard gardens and to stumble upon species I’ve never seen before.

It is a succulent, vine and herb that is native in China but introduced to parts of Europe and North America. It can be very invasive in gardens especially in eastern and southern states.

Though it can outcompete native species it does help against soil erosion and absorbs CO2 efficiently.

It has been found in Asian folklore thought to be connected to longevity and prosperity due to its hardy and prolific nature. It’s also a symbol for tranquility.

3.3.25

Norway Spruce

Picea abies

Observed in Old Monroe, MO on 3.1.25.

It is introduced to Missouri but not considered invasive, though it can take over natural forests.

It does well in the cold but struggles in the heat, compact soil and drought.

It grows fast and tall and is often used as a snow/wind break.

Some interesting uses it has includes:

-spruce beer

-violins for sound transmitting properties

-medicine

-cooking spices

3.4.25

Green Sea Turtle

Chelonia mydas

Observed sea turtle release on Stewart Beach, Galveston 3.4.35. They are native to the Gulf of Mexico and Texas beaches are important for nesting season. They can be spotted off the coasts of about 140 countries.

These were collected during the last cold stun group in January. They were washing up on the bay side because that area is much colder than the beach side.

If you see a stranded or sick sea turtle you can call 1-866-TURTLE-5. They are on the endangered list.

Green sea turtles get their name because their cartilage and fat turn green from the foods they eat consisting of algae and seagrass making them unique among sea turtle species.

They migrate from nesting beaches to their feeding grounds using earth’s magnetic field to navigate. The females will migrate to the beach they were born on to lay their own eggs.

They’re thought to live around 70 years old and become sexually mature around 25 years. They’re thought are the largest species of hard-shelled turtles and second largest of the sea turtles. They’re thought can also grow to be 350lbs.

Daily Meditations And Affirmations - February26, 2025

John 15:16 - "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you."

Many Christians never progress beyond the basic principles of the gospel: others -- the minority -- demonstrate the abundant riches of God's grace. The preacher's task should be to preach of the fullness of grace and the fruit-bearing potential for Believers as they advance God's Kingdom through Jesus Christ.

Christians need to become aware of God's purpose for their lives and be encouraged to believe that a life of abundance in the fullness of the Spirit is meant for them.

Ask yourself whether you are living in the abundant fruit-bearing life that Jesus came to give you. If you are, it will be evidenced in your love for Jesus and a revelation of your calling in Christ, bearing fruit that remains -- winning and discipling others into their life in Christ.

Colossians 2:10 - "And you have been given full life in union with him…" Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

You have a unique purpose and a destiny that is distinct from any other person who has ever lived.

If you are more concerned about people's opinion of you than God's vision for you, then give in to peer pressure, and fit in with everyone else. Dress like them -- Act like them -- Eat what they eat -- Spend 70 hours a week watching television like they do -- live on credit like they do, satisfied with barely getting by -- Go where they go -- Think like they think -- talk like they talk.

Be courageous enough to claim your oneness with Christ and affirm your ability to rise to greater heights than the herd. You're a rising star in the Kingdom of God. You have inside you the courage and stamina to push away the negativity of conformity. Invite the upward call of Christ in your life to come in and become the world changer you were meant to be.

Today ran the gamut of extremes. It began with surgery on my foot; it ended with temperatures up in the 50s; Maria and I sat by the pasture soaking up the sun; Zip was in my lap, and she moved over to talk to her donkeys and Asher, the sheep.
