This is February 17, 2012 and very few mesquites begin to awaken

The old Indian adage is that when the mesquite waked up from winter, winter was over, will use my new Blogger tool of sending you a post from my email when I see them, in this area, all definitely awaken.
If you are coming out of your cave, you can tell it is just about there.

A soap a Soap my kingdom for a soap

Well not really, but this Christmas, my son, Saul, violinist in his Senior year at the School of Music of UTSA gave me a bar of this http://www.awildsoapbar.com product and was not only satisfying but gratifying to see that other persons are taking to use the mesquite bean, maybe some day in the future its presence as the SECOND CORN and all its multiple uses will be known to all mankind.
Saludos salud suerte
Enjoy the Mesquite Wild Soap, these people are good folks!

The Texas Almanac speaks on the mesquite

http://www.texasalmanac.com/topics/science/ubiquitous-mesquite

Words, words, words, here are some of my thoughts said by another person.
When I say 65 million acres, they say only 57 million in Texas and that is 76% meaning the total is 75 no?
When I say the mesquites - IF PRUNED - can give shadow and water to a Texas prairie or any prairie they say in their ACTUAL state mesquites will steal water and give hardly no shade.
That PRUNED material is the one I use for cattle feed and tanning production, and stoves the world over, and cooking rich rich steaks.
Leave to you the many more agreeable and disagreeable statements on both presentations.
