Heres Me Hoping For Some More Rain! Vet Left A Syringe Case That With A Little Modification Worked Great!

Eating her placenta.. Caracaras were waiting patiently for what was left over.

Beautiful! By the pivot center.

Saw this while checking salt in the cow pens. Thirteen Striped ground squirrel. South Texas!

Winter feeding and new calves in South Texas.

Been there done that..it will happen again!

Thankful for this. I need Jesus.

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.

A Texas toad hiding under the cattle guard. South Texas is home to critters!

Tiger striped cow! Giving me the eye in South Texas.

Bumped into this lady today near the woodpile. Glad to have her around as she hunts snakes. She is immune to rattle snake venom which is a great reason to have her around in South Texas.
