The sparkles don't show up too well, but it is just as sparkly as it can be! I'm thinking "dirty sandstone" with quartz crystals throughout. It is slightly magnetic, so I think it has some iron ore in it...maybe the blackish parts. Not a lot...
Feel free to illuminate me about this rock! 😁

Something pulled up this pretty blue pansy plant during the night. Blue pansies are my favorite and difficult to find around here, for some reason.
I'm REALLY MAD!

It's got to be some kind of fungus. The nodules are spongy, and have sort of roots, and are very mushroom like inside .

Mystery time!! What the 'eck is this?? It's barely under the soil in a pot of Candlestick plants. It is NOT potatoes, as Google Lens says. There are no potato plants in there. They feel like little pebbles. I haven't dug them up yet, but I'm about to.

I can't hold my phone steady for love nor money. I started veering to the left.
BUT, the crows starts out almost dead center. You can see it bob up and down when it caws. It's right by my Crow Bar!!! I hope it'll swwop down and eat some peanuts!
Also, you can hear a red-shouldered hawk calling.

Been out sniffing my Mexican Mint Marigold (blooming) and my Copper Canyon Daisy (not blooming). Their foliage smells wonderful! And, I found a random Mullein plant.
