We have Koalas on our place, too. I haven't seen them coming in for water though. Probably because of the dogs.

Annie,
Really enjoyed reading about your DWTS recap. Sounds like you had a fun and interesting time.
(I think Gleb is cute/handsome too)
Have you ever looked at his instagram? He doesn't seem to mind letting his "package" be seen! The comments crack me up.

No, I haven't looked at his Instagram but from what you have said, he sounds like he has a good sense of humor and does not have a shy bone in his body. lol

After such a cold snap, what a beautiful morning to wake up to. 44 degrees here, and for February 10 that is very pleasant.
Hope the weather is improving for you too, HRM. Long time until spring, but these warmer temps are welcome aren't they.
But gabriele's weather ... that is heartbreaking for the wildlife.
And vmmmom - - did you get hit hard by storm Niko?

I think you all probably are aware of the Snow Moon eclipse this evening. Should be fun to watch, and not very late so the kids can watch it too.
I thought this list of Indian terms for the various moons was interesting. From the Old Farmers' Almanac. Also, I just finished reading Louise Erdrich's novel, LaRose. And her native references are fresh in my head.
MonthNameDescriptionJanuaryFull Wolf MoonThis full Moon appeared when wolves howled in hunger outside the villages. It is also known as the Old Moon. To some Native American tribes, this was the Snow Moon, but most applied that name to the next full Moon, in February.FebruaryFull Snow MoonUsually the heaviest snows fall in February. Hunting becomes very difficult, and hence to some Native American tribes this was the Hunger Moon.MarchFull Worm MoonAt the time of this spring Moon, the ground begins to soften and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of robins. This is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.AprilFull Pink MoonThis full Moon heralded the appearance of the moss pink, or wild ground phlox—one of the first spring flowers. It is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon.MayFull Flower MoonFlowers spring forth in abundance this month. Some Algonquin tribes knew this full Moon as the Corn Planting Moon or the Milk Moon.JuneFull Strawberry MoonThe Algonquin tribes knew this Moon as a time to gather ripening strawberries. It is also known as the Rose Moon and the Hot Moon.JulyFull Buck MoonBucks begin to grow new antlers at this time. This full Moon was also known as the Thunder Moon, because thunderstorms are so frequent during this month.AugustFull Sturgeon MoonSome Native American tribes knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this full Moon. Others called it the Green Corn Moon.SeptemberFull Corn MoonThis full Moon corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It is also called the Barley Moon, because it is the time to harvest and thresh the ripened barley. The Harvest Moon is the full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox, which can occur in September or October and is bright enough to allow finishing all the harvest chores.OctoberFull Hunter’s MoonThis is the month when the leaves are falling and the game is fattened. Now is the time for hunting and laying in a store of provisions for the long winter ahead. October’s Moon is also known as the Travel Moon and the Dying Moon.NovemberFull Beaver MoonFor both the colonists and the Algonquin tribes, this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. This full Moon was also called the Frost Moon.DecemberFull Cold MoonThis is the month when the winter cold fastens its grip and the nights become long and dark. This full Moon is also called the Long Nights Moon by some Native American tribes.

I know what you mean about the temps View...It was 71 day before yesterday and then yesterday in the 40's and 21 last night but it is going to be 74 on Sunday... this has been the craziest winter we have had in a long time.
I agree with you about the weather that Gabriele is having...most people don't normally think about the wildlife when you think of the weather...
