such a piquant melange ! here be; the meadow voles ate all the fall planting of native perenns, the green on green deciduous leafout is astounding, the ticks are very populous ("I walked from my car to your door and got five crawling on me!"), got the air conditioners in the windows just in time for a spate of 90 degree days record breaking and then had to turn the heat back on for 30s temps, and evicted the ants trying to nest in the mailbox. will wish for parrot flash n adaptability :)
It’s been a great year for agave blooms (my husband calls them “death penises,” and I try not to roll my eyes), and cardinals.
Austin lost so many agaves in 2021, so it’s nice to see them having a banner year.
Thank you! With you traversing the shitscape(s)...
Agave, yes, but not A. americana. Way too short and different flowers. Nice one though, I don’t know the species.
Here are my own field notes on urban packrafting. I hope you don’t find a dead body! https://substack.com/@amybrunvand/note/p-185903864?r=3aadnk&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action
This is amazing! Thank you 🙏
Great post, as usual. I can't wait to hear your opinion of Dog's Head Development. Should I be optimistic--or not?
Thanks, Diana! Aiming to talk about Dog’s Head and adjacent topics this Sunday (if I can carve out the time).
