It doesn't quite blend into the surroundings.

Cute Birdhouse
They had some of these for sale without the plants, so you could add your own.

The bird houses are adorable, shoe!
Worth, nice view on the latter picture and I constantly remind myself overall on the former picture they're a Gardener's friend. We have plenty of black widows around. I see them, they die. |

Love is in the air!
This morning the winner of The Bachelorette (duck version) led his lady across the street from where the park and lake are located into the yard where they have taken up residence. She is definitely his Queen. I'll be looking for ducklings sometime in the future. They always seem to be hanging around that brown spot in the grass. I wonder what is so interesting about that area.

Stopped and took a few pictures of the area next to my place and the drive home.
Last picture 100 yards from the house. Unbelievably green this time of year. IMG_20190630_1192.jpg IMG_20190630_33679.jpg IMG_20190630_50668.jpg IMG_20190630_7232.jpg IMG_20190630_25595.jpg IMG_20190630_45913.jpg |

Nice photos Worth. Lots of times I envy people who live in a more rural area where it is not so crowded and congested.

The above road is the back way to the lake or to my house depending on which way you came from'.
The people from Austin and beyond that go to the lake have no idea it is there and it pleases me well.' I'm about a mile from the High school here in town and around 2 miles from the lake. Plus I live on a dead end road so very little traffic. |

This is what I did the day after July fourth.
Installing relays to shut down fans during a fire. A small window into some of the things I do at work. IMG_20190705_9753.jpg IMG_20190705_26733.jpg IMG_20190705_35658.jpg IMG_20190705_44211.jpg |

Life's good at the top.
I know my friend Mike in Cypress will understand.
Nothing like a clear path to run wire. Got three jobs going and on top of all of them. It isn't going unnoticed either. IMG_20190719_5809.jpg |

Worth,
You sure don't get to see a clear work site like that very often at Texas School Construction Jobs. We are on a job that the walls are not complete yet they are going to open in a month. Crazy time of year. MikeInCypress

Here's a couple of random photos.
I was up town doing errands today and found this stray tomato plant! The poor wee thing looks like it has a very severe nitrogen deficiency? Or possibly it has survived being sprayed with glyphosate that killed the other weeds around it? It does look a bit like glyphosate damage. I wanted take it home and nurture it lol but trying to remove it with any roots would be impossible, so now I'm actually thinking about getting one of these to stick in the ground next to it when I'm passing these next .
