“Passing this info on for all who live in/around FTS (I am not affiliated with the Board in anyway, just wanted to make sure that residents know about recycling opportunities in our area!):
QUOTE “The Keep Historic Ft. Stockton Beautiful Board would like to announce that this Sat. the 14th is America recycles day. The board would like encourage the community to recycle whenever possible and remind the community that the city has recycling facilities at 604 Valentine, that are open during city business hours for clean cardboard,magazines, newspaper, shredded paper, and #1 and #2 food and drink containers. There is also a used motor oil and oil filter collection center across the street and 1/2 block south at the city maintenance shop. this is a no charge service. Recycling will help increase the life of our landfill and should save the taxpayer money in the long run, as well as conserving valuable resources for the next generation.” END QUOTE”

Close up of tiny purple desert sage flowers.
Lots of rain lately, making for beautiful desert sage blooms in my front yard. These bushes are usually pretty boring, covered in light green leaves, and darn near impossible to kill, but add some rain storms and suddenly you have an overnight crop of tiny purple flowers.
Beautiful West Texas storm..
