Hey y'all! Good afternoon from Texas!
I stopped by a friend's new house on the way home cause he mentioned he had some new Roundup to spray on some weedy sunflowers. I went to dig some up for the seeds and to see if they're Jerusalem artichokes. They're not, but I still got some seeds. I love these wild Texas sunflowers. I hope these few seeds can grow into a little row out front to look pretty and help keep down the road noise.
Here's a generic pic since I didn't get one while I was there. Cool source too!
Anyways. After that, check out the radar!
It didn't rain. All that storm was headed dead for us. It must have gotten to our street and just turned east while I slept. It's okay though. There's higher chance of rain tomorrow. I didn't take it for granted though and I watered anyway. Barefoot.
Mom's a hippie flower child, which makes me half hippie flower child, so sometimes I like being barefoot outside.
Check out the fungi on thhe south bed!
The second pic is the other side of the log, but the same spot yesterday. So that little yellow pancake bit grew I overnight I guess. I know some fungi are beneficial and some aren't, so does anyone on what I'm looking at here? Its the second such patch I've seen yet in this bed, so I don't guess it'll be the last.
I think nature is onto me.
She's figured out how I deal with moles and she's using it to our mutual advantage. See, when I see a mole hole, I flood it. Nature must like that cause she has started sending more moles. I don't mind though, it gets water way down into the ground, which is super cool by me and I assume the ground likes it too because after a couple days, green stuff starts to come out.
Like this. Then it grows.
Like this. Then it gets bigger and needs mowed.
Like this. Guess I'll be mowing again soon. No pneumonia this time though, so that's nice. It's always cool not to have pneumonia :)
Gonna head out and find something in the yard that needs done. Not sure what yet. I had planned on watching the rain when I got up... Maybe I'll just sit and watch the chickens instead.
Stay relevant y'all

P.S. I had started writing this before bed. I fell asleep after writing out a paragraph about how excited I was for rain. Moral of the story: don't trust a rain storm that isn't in your yard.
