Aguava ?

 What about this plant.  It sits by the road next to my Sons property.  There have been people who have stopped and asked him if he cared if they cut off some of the stems as I guess the cook it.  He said it wasn't really on his property so he really had no say.  Well, as you can see the stem coming out of the middle of it which we have never seen this happen before.  So because of the internet we were able to look it up and they explained out the stem would branch out and bloom.  So we were watching it daily to see just what would happen.  Well, a couple of days from when I took the pictures someone came at 1:30 in the morning  and chopped half of it down.  I can't even take a picture of it it looks so bad.  It just makes you sick.  I can't believe someone would do such a thing, just leave it and drive away.  The reason I know the time is the neighbor across the street happened to be up at that time, heard laughter and talking and looked out his window and saw what they were doing.  By then the deed was done and soon after they drove off.  I am just glad I did get some pictures

of it.  We find out it was a plant they make the aguave sweetener out of.  I do use it a lot in cooking but did not realize I had that plant right in front of me.

Must end this on a happy note, can't leave you sad so notice the beautiful sky with the clouds.  Tootles

Back Yard Fun !

I had so much fun making my sign.  How fun it is to make things with your own hands and display them in your yard.  I know you can go buy this stuff but lets face it it's too clean and you don't have the memory of what was happening while you were doing it.  Anyway I do have fun in my yard.  So get out there and listen to the birds and smell the roses.  Tootles

Rooster !

This is just one of our Roosters.  The colors are beautiful and boy can they crow. We do enjoy them but just have to keep them apart from each other. Talk about not playing well with others !!!

What we do love is our chickens.  They are chatty and scurry around in groups.  Sounds like they are discussing the latest gossip.  Who knows, I just know I enjoy them and love their eggs.  Aren't we lucky !  Tootles
