Stop and smell the beneficials. To much living and to little blogging. I've decided to make a change. Now that wedding season is over and wedding pictures I've cleaned up my beard. Knocked it back to the dark ages with the old #1 trimmer. Took some pictures... for the first time in 2 months. This one is some flowers we let grow to provide habitat to insects. With any luck the beneficial kinds. Another added bonus is that during the drought period last week these plants helped keep hungry bugs away from our juicy irrigated crops by giving them something else to feed on. In theory.
