Newborn died. Then a mama died. Trying to make a new family! Sloppy work on my part..got in a hurry… but it was a success! The mama took a sniff, then a lick and accepted her new baby!
December hunting brings April fried venison!! Woot woot! Dang I love this stuff!! Blessed beyond measure!
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.
Heres me hoping for some more rain! Vet left a syringe case that with a little modification worked great! Now thats country in South Texas!
Mostly photos of my life in South Texas. I share what I love. The Outdoors and Ranch Life.
