Most of the time these cacti look ordinary but today they are sporting a pretty yellow flower.
They usually blend into the landscape but for now they stand out as if saying...look at me!
Yes...those dry bean looking things are exactly what you think they are...pesky mesquite pods :-(
Since this blog also serves as a cyber diary...needed to document that I took mother to the ER yesterday.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
You took your Mother to the ER and not telling us the rest of the story???
ReplyDeleteNope :D
DeleteJust kidding...Mother has been experiencing severe back pain lately. So much so that she is unable to lay in her bed and go to sleep.
I have her sleeping in dad's old recliner (where I usually sleep because of my own back issues). Unfortunately her doctor is on vacation so it was either go to the ER or tough it out till next week.
Thankfully she is doing much better.
Those cactii sure do brighten up the yard.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately where these cacti are located they are pretty much hidden from view.
DeleteHope your mother is OK! We've gotten enough small rains in this area that everything is fairly green and doing well. I even hear they canceled the burn ban (After the 4th.)
ReplyDeleteMom is doing much better...thank you :)
DeleteThe burn ban being lifted is GREAT news! Glad my favorite desert is green and thriving!
Just have to remind myself...three and a half more months and the darn heat will be gone...but most importantly I will be in Terlingua :D
