Life and death in the fast lane

I pumped water until nearly midnight, then headed to town because I was expected to go to Odessa with Hugh for his melanoma surgery. En route to Alpine I hit what I thought was a paper bag laying in the road. Turned out to be a Great Horned Owl.😟 I didn't know it was plastered to my pickup until I stopped at the border checkpoint and they told me.

I didn't quite get done pumping last night so heading back tomorrow to finish. Then Friday the sand is supposed to be delivered. 

The Mexican Sunflower is still covered with butterflies. Gotta plant more of them next year.
