Mom says I am not sharing.
I guess she’s right, but what I want on this blog is way more interesting than what she wants on this blog.
She says this is supposed to be her plant and bird and garden journal, with a dog ‘flavor’.
I say it’s the Black Dog Diaries with a plant ‘flavor’, or possibly a chicken ‘flavor’. Chicken’s a bird, right?
Seeing as how she has control of the keyboard…by the way, this is what it looks like when I do it…

See??
As I was saying, seeing as how she has control of the keyboard, she says we are going to share the posts today. I suggested two separate posts, kinda like, “don’t get your peanut butter in my chocolate, don’t get your chocolate in my peanut butter”.
She agreed. And I am going to let her go first before she explodes.
Gee, Deuce. Thanks. Leslie here folks. He’s right. I’m about to explode with pictures of what has been happening to the desert with all the rain. I have taken to posting my skies photos over on MY blog, Leslie’s Blog. (we don’t tell Deuce about it, or he would want over there, too)

So here are all my pictures of the flora, fauna, and weather that has happened around here, with a little “Deuce” flavor thrown in. He had a great time playing in the rain. He just loves it! Can’t get him in the kiddie pool, though.
If you hold the cursor over the picture it will give you some info, like what the picture is named, and if you click, the file will get big, in most cases.
Ocotillo are cool. They look like dead sticks, until it rains, and then they put leaves all over them in less than a weeks time. Amazing. When the rains subside, the leaves turn yellow, and fall off until the next appreciable rain.
I thought this cloud picture looked like the “Battle of the Transformers”.
My little rock hound… He does not swallow them. He grinds them up. Great for the teeth…
Shortly after it rains, the red ants grow wings, and fly up in the morning sunlight. Makes for some dodging on the AM walks. They are everywhere. They fly up in columns, and plummet to the ground through the center of the column. Once on the ground, I guess they go make a new colony.
So many things respond to rain, because it softens the ground. Tarantulas come out, too.
The chupacabra dog responds to the rain softened ground by running from place to place, digging in a crazed manner…
This is a tiny little cactus, maybe 2 inches across, gone unnoticed tucked up under a guardrail at the side of the road. It rained. It flowered. It got it’s picture taken.
The bees can’t get enough of this flower. It opens in the evening, and they congregate all over it. It was easy to get this picture. The odds of catching a bee in the frame were great.
Well, thanks Deuce. I needed to get those pics published.
Now I will work on your post. If we don’t get it up until tomorrow, you will just have to be patient. Sit. Wait. Good dog.
Pause,
Leslie
