Another fawn! Had to keep the dogs in the yard. Notice the ugly armadillo ‘excluder’ we put up under the fence as the rascals were tearing up the yard.

A scorpion with little ones on its back! South Texas is scorpion paradise! Yard work, Loading square bales ‘hay’, Pulling green corn all could be hazardous! However I prefer 'zapps’ from scorpions over wasps or honey bees as they dont hurt as much. According to my grandfather when dried corn was hand harvested 'pulled’ and tossed into a mule drawn wagon the harvester could expected many scorpion stings on his/her hands. Asking about gloves he replied gloves made it difficult to grip the corn so were not used.

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

My sister is about to juice and freeze prickly pears. Its a process we burn the thorns off w/ a grass burner then rinse them well then juice, pour into water bottles and freeze. High in betalains and other anti oxidants prickly pears are good for us. Coyotes, deer, and other animals consume these in late summer.

One last drink before fertility testing at the vets office! 12 bulls tested 10 passed. The girls were waiting! These guys will lose some weight over the next month or two. You can see we are dry. 3/2020
