Water averaging (utilities monitor usage to determine the next year's rates) starts in our area tomorrow so most folks hereabouts turn their automated systems off as of today. Without rain, that forces those of us with seedlings and new transplants to hand water when the temperatures/humidity/wind threaten their getting established.<br /><br />And you are right. I complain a LOT but gardening here is easier than other places (when I stick to my native plant guns!).

Nothing of the sort here, the usual blue skies!<br /><br />Hope you get more rain...though I think except for human comfort, central TX is easier to grow plants in than the desert SW.

As Tina and I have both noted, you hear them before you see them. This particular arrow of geese has that one extra long arm, making me wonder if they were at some in-between stage of formation change.

Large migrating birds are all at once so very patterned and wild in their behaviors.

It was foggy and low-to-the-ground fog. A group of (I assume "geese"), flew over. Though I couldn't see them at all, they were so loud and close that I could hear individuals. I can't describe those couple of moments and I've never forgotten it. Tinahttp://www.mygardenersays.comnoreply@blogger.com
