cedar slaughter season is here again

oak that was liberated from the oppressive cedar trees

the heat has finally declined; this is the hottest summer on record.  we made a trip to our ranch-ette in wimberley.  the land is plagued with cedar trees that were strangling some very nice oaks.  we could see that last year's effort did result in healthier oaks despite the heat and drought.

chain saw failure caused a delay in taking down some of the larger cedars, but there was plenty of small ones that were trying to get in around the oaks that we could knock down manually.  we got a good work out.

parched and hungry, we went to Ino'z brew and chew on cypress creek, downtown wimberley.

Inoz margarita pitcher

food was good but we found the margaritas too sweet.  I'd rather see a smaller pitcher of higher quality.

these two made out under the table.

people refer to these lizards as chameleon, but they are not a true chameleon.  they are plentiful around here and this one was behind me trying to catch flies.  I was wearing a green shirt so it adjusted.

same lizard, moments later.

wimberley town square is filled with lots of galleries and shops.  we walked around for a while just browsing.

we found that one of the restaurants we used to eat at regularly is for sale and no longer open for business
