You know you're in Texas when ...

you have an Armadillo in your back yard! This fella paid us a visit this week, scrounging around for worms and bugs. He's a 9 banded Armadillo (if you look closely you can can't the bands) and is the most common here in Texas. Unfortunately he found our veggie patch but didn't do to much damage. We'll plug the whole under the fence so he doesn't get any more ideas.

We've been having some spectacular sunsets lately. We've had some thunder storms pass through and though we've had very little rain from them, they've still been a welcome sight.

The back yard is starting to come into it's own. The grass is starting to fill in and the plants are finally starting to grow. We seem to have chosen the slowest growing plants ever!


One very happy camper :)
