DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
Last night hubby worked until bedtime so I spent the evening piddling around in the yard. We live on about three and a half acres so I am always finding something I want to move closer to the house to enjoy. Last night this is what I found and relocated near the entrance of my driveway. So far it is the only thing blooming on our place:
While I was relocating plants the skies grew dark and I literally saw the thunderclouds circle around us leaving behind nothing but wind and the tantalizing smell of rain.
If you look at the enlarged version of this next picture you will notice bits of yellow here and there on the prairie. That was the prickly pear before I moved it nearer the house.
Today I am planting Castor Beans around my vegetable garden spot.... Supposed to be a natural gopher repellant. We'll see.

I love prickly pear - we even have it around here where it is much wetter than your area. We are evidently getting the rain that is circling around you!
i like prickly pear, too. we alwasy see it when we're hiking in the ozarks... in the cedar glades.
hope the castor beans work. let us know what your results are.
Those clouds look fearsome! and I bet we don't have that kind of flower up here! haha Can't wait to see all the changes you're doing when I come visit you next!
We finally got some rain last night, don't know how much, but some. No hail here in town. It looked and got nasty south/southwest of town. I made prickly pear jelly ONCE! Never felt that urge to make it again. haha Tasted like dirt.
Beautiful sky and land around you -- so much of both!
