things the rain brought...


besides some much needed relief.



a lovely sunset



these red lilies, miniature amaryllis I think



a mushroom



blue bonnet seedlings



another mushroom



this weird thing, it never got any bigger and is a solid mass...a fungus?



the fire ants which had gone underground during the hot dry summer have resurfaced



and lots of these bad boys

    You brought to light lots of interesting things. I thought fire ants only lived in the deep south.

    Silly me. I forgot you lived in the South. When do they go dormant?

    Bluebonnets! I still think it's astonishing and kind of wonderful that they only grow in Texas. Remember, don't pick any, it's illegal!

    Wonderful pics Ellen.

    We had some rain too last week and the nasty mozzies are now out in force...I hate them!

    Water is life, definitely.

    It's actually bad GIRLS when you speak of mosquitoes. What was God thinking when he invented them? That's a rhetorical question, you know I don't think of God as having a personality.

    Love the sunset!

    I love the mushrooms and that puffball fungus. The mosquito makes me itchy.

    I took some pics of puffballs too. They're so cool looking.

    So glad you got the rain, and wow those tallow trees are pretty, I looked them up.

    Nice photos. Glad we don't have fire ants here in the northeast. I hear they're pretty nasty.
