One evening

 We finally got a little rain in South Texas, so the grass has greened-up a bit. Mornings and evenings are a nice time to be outdoors, but the daytime temps are still in the mid 90's.
 Rascal has really grown and no longer looks like a kitten.
 That makes me kinda sad!
 I often see deer just outside my yard fence. That evening, I saw 2 bucks and 3 does.
 They didn't hang around when I went outside!
 I'm trying to decide if I should attempt a fall garden or not. We are still quite dry. I wanted to try planting Romanesco Broccoli. Of course, I still need to find the seeds.
I was awakened at 2:00 a.m. on Thursday morning, by the stinging of a scorpion. That was my third time to be stung on my finger while sleeping in my bed.(In about 5 years) I'm trying to get my husband to switch sides of the bed with me. haha He's not going for it.
Y'all come back,

  3. Sorry to hear about your finger. I've been thinking of planting a fall garden as well. I'm still waiting for the temps to cool down. Never planted Romanesco Broccoli. Have you looked at Seed Savers Exchange for seeds?

  6. Glad you got some rain. Everything is just so dry. We have been watering but our yard is still suffering - by next year the only thing that will have survived is weeds. (they seem to have no problem with drought)
    Scorpion? I would be looking for another place to sleep!

  9. The news is full of info about black widow spiders and scorpions being in abundance this year in Oklahoma due to the drought. Just what I don't want to hear! I check my sheets before going to bed and my shoes before putting them on. Like it will matter. :) Ours - scorpions - are not poison, are yours? Take care.
