For the past fourteen days......................
the west Texas sky has looked like this. Rain.................wonderful, long lasting, good soaking ,
rain.
Thank you, Hurricane Alex.
When we get rain............along comes the great things, like cool breezes, thick green grass, and a slow down on outside work....................and..............
large swarms of gigantic ants. These ants are in the middle of moving their colony................this year ............to our house. They took over the whole yard and the concrete patio was completely covered.................
as well as the outside benches..............with thousands of these winged creatures.
Also, beautiful and unique things spring forth. I have seen many mushrooms on the grounds, most of them are large, round white balls. These soft, buttery, yellow mushrooms came up in a pot that once grew decorative kale.
This has also been a time of harvest. I pulled up the remaining onions and have dried and stored them away.
The cabbage has now formed it wonderful "cabbage heads" and the plants are getting very large. I just love this plant!
