Here's another

Mike built many of these after seeing something similar at a gun show. He made fold away tables and sold them when he and our neighbor (Bob) went fishing all over east Texas. Bob was the co pilot when Nixon went to China. He knew and had mementos from several astronauts. Played football for Texas A&M and we celebrated with him the day we poured the slab for the house with a bottle of Dom Perignon. A true Texan. He was buried at the veterans cemetery in San Antonio and we went to his funeral.

Even this toad was trying to get out of the rain this morning. Perhaps he was getting suggestions from his mentor lol.
3-1/2" for us from yesterday and the cove is rising and all the floodwaters of the Pedernales River are going to drain into our lake. Flood gates at 2 damns will be opened soon. Some flooding in the same areas as last 4th of July.

@nuleafjhawk We've been blessed with bountiful rain and got these on a walk around the block, kinda getting to the end of the season.

I'm not much of a plant guy, but .....Indian Paintbrush? Can I still say that?
-
Sadly not paintbrush. These are Indian Blanket.
Indian Paintbrush looks like a Bluebonnet, with the blooms being pinkish and reddish instead of blue. -
I salvaged the mammoth sunflowers worth keeping after the stalk fell over from the weight of it. I counted 11 blooms at the top and it was laying down on the ground this morning.

Back in 2023 I awoke to find the backyard filled with turkey vultures and after getting them to scatter I found this half of a buck underneath them.
Didn't get any closer than this.

Huh. Wonder what took it down.
