Cold Weather Brings Freezing Rain And Ice To South Texas. Ice On This Agarito.

Colocynth aka Vine of Sodom or colloquially known as 'Pie Melons'. Vines scrambled up a round bale and there you have it! The seed must have hitched a ride hundred and thirty years ago in someone's watermelon seed. (Kind of like Tumbleweed seed from the Russian Steppe hitched a ride in wheat grain) Originating in North Africa it tolerates great heat and drought, like our part of Texas, and was used as medicine by the ancient Egyptians.. too much will kill you but a little, supposedly, can relieve pain. Farmers hate them, cows don't eat them and pigs despise them.

Me too! Almost added a hashtag!

Keep comin' big boy! We need the rain!

Come on Rain!

Is this real?

Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming

This is not mine. But I love the saying.

Your blog is useless and lame, as are the ppl who follow you. Just delete it.

I might delete it one day. Today’s not the day.
