As you can sort of see, we are having ourselves a hazy, semi-overcast Monday here in Fort Worth. And very very windy.One would think all this wind would blow the pollution across the border to Oklahoma, like the Texas anti air pollution system is supposed to do.
And it's borderline chilly. Only 81 right now, coming up on 3 in the afternoon.
Last week a couple Fort Worth Botanists identified the white stalk wildflowers, you see in the picture, as being Yuccas.
The root of the Yucca is edible and very nutritious. I like it mashed with garlic and butter. Yucca Root has a very high iron content.
I had an impulse to harvest myself some fresh Yucca Root today on the Tandy Hills, but then I remembered it is a Natural Area, thus somewhat protected, and so I let the impulse to forage pass. I've no idea how easy or difficult it may be to extract a Yucca Root. They likely do not pull easily out of the ground like a carrot.
Now that I'm back in the pool, early in the morning, I've cut back on overly endorphinizing myself on the Tandy Hills.
I've been getting messages the past couple days from a Kent, Washington Beauty Queen that have somehow managed to cheer me up. I find people being rational to be a cheering type thing.
On my other screen I see Comache Appliances is now following me on Twitter. No good can come of this development.
