My knee told me on my morning walk around the 'hood that it's going to rain in a day or two. It was especially grumpy on the uphill. It appears NWS agrees w/knee. #BlurryPix

the intersection of the stucco exterior wall and sand aka dirt where some creature - possibly squirrel rabbit or mouse - has dug a vent hole and freaking hole hole in the area we just got fixed after it flooded my kitchen and I seakelpie am contemplating violence against this creature who also chewed into 2 bags of unopened charcoal and then the plastic bags I put them in after the initial chewing . Note no food has ever touched said bags so i do not know why the fuck said creature is chewing on stuff but now I gotta gather rocks to shove into said holes and put the dirt back and throw a bigger rock on top and it is really quite vexing
This creature is disturbing my calm #HellsHalfAcre

The barometric pressure is at 30.05 this morning, which has my head on the verge of exploding with a migraine and me with only aspirin, caffeine & an ice pack to try to hold it together. But hey, it's a lovely 72°F with blue skies above and the Mesquite's in bloom. #BlurryPix #HellsHalfAcre

a weed or wildflower about 9" tall with sage green stem & leaves and pretty white petals on a background of straw-like yellow leaves from a possible Mesquite tree.
Lens says, The plant in the image is known as the Brownplume wirelettuce (Stephanomeria pauciflora).
It fell to the rake, but at least I took its #BlurryPix first.

a tiny nut shell or seed pod i think as it seems to have a stem at one end
I was weeding & saw what I thought was a tiny seashell, which I have found on occasion in my desert wanderings. And stuck it in my pocket to look at with my glasses on. 😹 Turns out this is more likely a nut shell. Very smol.
