Max started barking at 3:30 a.m. the other morning. We did the shining of the flashlight and chased away all the bunny rabbits. But Max wouldn't be quiet. It was almost noon when I was ready to take him out for a walk and he started going nuts! He was trying to shake the tree this varmint was in. I had to get on the far side of him before he was actually visible. What a face, but they are an extremely nasty creature. Stay Away silly Opossum ! |
He didn't move a muscle the entire time I was watching. As soon as I went back inside, he disappeared with Max barking until he was long gone. The tree he was in was only about 10 foot from Max's area. |
You have to look close to see any reds at all in the leaf color. There are a lot of yellows and beige, tan colorings. The Wall of China tree is fast becoming all yellow leaves and the little tree with heart-shaped leaves has gone from all yellow to all fallen onto the ground. |
These are the last of the prickly pear cactus with fruit. They have ripened and been eaten by the wildlife who love them. I have never had the desire to try them as a jelly or to try the pads as a side dish. Humm, they just grow wild. |
