    I just want to share how proud I am of my daughter. She is about to purchase her first house, in San Antonio, and had committed to using her yard to recreate some small portion of the Blackland Prairie that has been almost completely decimated by farming and development. She came to live with me from Haiti when she was 12, and now she is healing people in medical practice and planning to heal her corner of the earth. So proud.

      I could not agree more! I'm fortunate to live off-grid in a wilderness area in S. California on Mt. San Jacinto. I just walk around outside feeling an overwhelming love for this place and its abundant wildlife. I was just outside having a nice visit with the friendly ravens that chose to live here about 8 years ago. Under my solar panels is an ideal, safe nesting spot.
      They are the best guard animals I've ever known! If a car heads our way, they let me know, and they warn me when there's mountain lions or bobcat stalking my goats.
      I wish Tony would visit my area, I've learned about some plants here, but it's getting where the invasive crap is taking over. At least I can eat the wild mustard plant that some douche brought here back in the 1800s. It's not native, and neither are the damn tumbleweeds. I hate those things! I'm glad my goats love to eat them though.
      One of their favorite treats are the dried yucca pods left in late Summer after the yuccas have completed their cycle of life. The goats crunch them happily like they're potato chips.

      I live on a mountain in SoCal where we have an abundance of cool wildlife. The quail are similar in that they will make a commotion and try to lead people and animals away from their nests. The baby quail are so adorable when they run after the parents. Sadly, everything loves to eat quail, so they have huge broods of chicks just to have a few make it to adulthood.
      I was just watching a leopard lizard outside, those guys crack me up. They have ridiculously long tails, and when they think I'm a predator, they put on a show as if that tail weighs five pounds and they can barely move from the weight.
      Once it realizes I have no intention of eating it, it scampers away in a flash. I'm pretty sure I heard this one say, "Go feck yourself!" as it ran away. They escape predators by enticing them to bite its tail, then the lizard runs away without its tail, but quickly grows a new one. The severed tail whips around for awhile as if it's alive, which keeps the predator busy!

    I live in one of those parks in California. I moved incto care for my grandma and when she passed my mom moved in so we could keep the place. We still pay the same base lot fee my grandpa paid when he bought the place back in the 90s, there's extra stuff for all the work they've been doing to fix the place up and update the roads and watermains and stuff. The people here love succulents and there's a lot of nice stuff planted in people yards. You still get some horticultural atrocities and fake lawns but it's a pretty nice place. I've been planting a lot of native plants and haven't used any pesticides since I moved in and even though its been extra hard fighting the weeds its been worth it because I saw two native salamanders this year on opposite sides of our plot.

    I dunno how I saw this video last week but anyway, it did a stellar job changing the page on a going-nowhere conversation with my folks about politics nonsense. turned out they have a pseduobombax in their front yard (down there on the border). we hopped in the car to go to look at a cactus they wanted to show me lol.

      Surprised it wasn’t one of those little “porch jockeys” holding the lanterns people used to have lining their driveways. Then they painted them all white during the civil rights movement in the 60s.

    As always, a breath of fresh air! Interesting it’s just basically one cactus per front garden. Reminds me of how contractors in the north drop in one tree and call it a landscape! 😅 I think they’d see return on investment if they took more care with planting!

These guys are loud af but what a nice serenade they make in the late afternoons. Fun fact: in br_pt they're called "Bem-te-vi", which kinda translates to "I'm watching you"
