FLORA, FAUNA, AND FATE

TOM'S DEMOLITION ~ BEST PRICES IN TOWN
I tried to work out in the front yard this morning, but was too upset. Why? Like the scene with the bulldozers in the movie 'Avatar', the same is happening to the bungalows in my neighborhood.

The crunching and grinding go on for an entire day. Imagine how unsettling
this would be in your neighborhood.  I always hope the guys have a very
ACCURATE map before they pick out the house. A new McMansion will be
up in a month. Such is progress. (That was the FATE part of the title)

FLORA

These are NOT cute ferns. These are cute pests. I'm posting this for Cindy
at My Corner of Katy. Did you know there are two kinds of this weed?
The common one is over in the lower left. I have the pleasure of having the
long-stalked version as well. It's not quite as bad as the short one, but it's still double trouble.

FAUNA

 One of the reasons I keep the garden
natural (no poisons) is for the wildlife.
We have a cardinal family now
and junior is getting a snack from
good 'ol dad. I never realized how
attentative the male cardinal is to
the young. In fact, mom flew away
when she saw me in the window,
but dad ignored me for good reason.
