Another Saturday

Here are some pictures of the house from Saturday:

Upstairs

The masons were working on the exterior rock and the sheet rock group was finishing up the tape and bedding.  I understand they will texture next.  Then the trim guy arrives to do as much as he can before the cabinets arrive.  It is starting to look like a house!

On our walk, Peg made me take a picture of the lovely flowers blooming on this prickly pear cactus.  I hate these plants, but love the flowers!

I was also asked to include a picture of this rather sparse bit of little bluestem grass.

It looked like the area did get a little rain this past week.  The corn looked better.  But as pictured, the tank is going down and could use a shot of rain.

We looked for fire ant mounds but few were to be found.  We need a really good rain to draw the ants out from the depths so we can see activity on the surface.  Then we can KILL them!
