On Saturday on the Tandy Hills I came across a bottle full of frozen water, sitting on ground heated over 100. With no humans seen.
The next day that bottle was gone.
And today, about a foot from where that bottle sat, there was a white snail shell stuck to a thick stalk of prairie grass.
I have seen snail shells on the Tandy Hills ground, previously, but never stuck on a grass stalk. I would seem that something like a snail must not have an easy time dealing with a drought.
It was barely 80 when I hit the Tandy Hills today a little after noon. Wind frequently gusting over 20 mph provided a nice wind chill factor. Making today the coldest day on the Tandy Hills in a long, long time.
I rather liked it.
The pool, this morning, bordered on cool. And had me wondering how it is that I manage to go swimming all winter long, as long as it is above freezing.
Labor Day lunch was Lobster Tacos. With Extra Sharp White Vermont Cheddar. Lobster Tacos may be my new favorite. I was not much of a lobster fan when I lived where there was a lot of fresh seafood available, with lobster not being among the fresh seafood one could fetch from Puget Sound.
I have never made tacos using Dungeness Crab. Methinks Dungeness Crab Tacos would be really tasty.
I made Jalapeno Progress today. No, Jalapeno Progress is not some Mexican food item. What I meant is I made progress via having a successful Jalapeno chopping experience. Meaning, I did not have a burning a super-sensitive area incident after chopping a Jalapeno.
In my simple world I have to make note of the little things to have any sense that I'm making some progress somewhere.

A Semi-Chilly Labor Day In North Texas With Lobster Tacos
I am up well before the sun on this 5th day of September, looking through the bars of my patio prison cell at an outer world currently heated to 70 degrees.
I had been led to believe, by the temperature predictors, that this morning would be chilled to 61.
This morning the temperature predictors are predicting that the low for this first Monday of September will be 56. With the high being only 83.
I suspect I will have temperature disappoint again today.
Currently I have my windows open. No A/C running, with windows open. Labor Day is starting off nicely.
I have no idea what I am doing this particular Labor Day, besides going swimming now that the sun has begun its daily illumination process, then likely enjoying the chilly air on the Tandy Hills. After that I'll be making my usual Labor Day Lobster Tacos. I will not be going to Town Talk today. Town Talk is closed for Labor Day.
Below you can see the chilly temperature predictions for my zone of North Texas for the next 5 days.
