Ray's Thought for the Day - Hard Freeze

That's right. Night before last the first hard freeze of the season occurred. For a hard freeze to occur in these parts, the water in the main birdbath has to freeze over. That's how we know.

Yesterday, was generally sunny. And fickle, fading Ogma managed to warm us up into the low 60s. So Rayetta decided we needed to do a butterfly monitoring event. Out I went to see if any butterflies were about. There were a few snouts, one checkered-skipper and a variegated fritillary. That's all I espied.

But lo and behold, the evil invasive winter weeds are putting in a troubling appearance in the formerly cultivated area. The bur clover wars are on again. Death to the bur-clovers!!!! Also, because lots of the St. Augustine weed got killed off by the paucity of precipitation characteristic of these parts, the King Ranch bluetem invasive weed that likes to conceal itself amid the St. Augustine weed is opportunistically flowering maniacally. Death to them, too!!!!

In fact, we are all turning out today for evil invasive weed patrol. Death to all the evil invasive weeds!!!! So all you Mammonites need to stear clear of the CB today. We wouldn't want any accidents of mistaken identity. Huh-huh.

First though, I have to eat up this delicious cinnamon bun. Mmmmm. It's even more delicious than usual. Why is that? Is it me, or the cinnamon bun?
