In Livingston, Texas, this is just a little bit of the fall colors you will see.
The butterflies are always nearby doing their jobs.
Nature in the woods is always a great place to be.
Fall colors in Texas
Black Eyed Susan
These Black Eyed Susan were growing on the property in Livingston, Tx.
They were in the middle of the pasture where there was nothing else to outshine them.
Wildflower seeds blow in the wind and the birds plant them but they always end up in the best places where they can stand out.
Beauty Berry Jelly
In Livingston in the woods beneath the trees lies the beautyberry bushes.
They are everywhere if you can beat the wildlife to them you will have a treasure.
The wildlife loves the berries but they are too tart for people to eat. They do make some delicious jelly.
My grandchildren picked almost two gallons and then asked me to make some Jelly.
This was my first time making the beauty berry jelly but it turned out great.
We ended up with 14 half pints in the first batch and 8 pints and 2 – 1/2 half pints in the second batch.
That was not too bad for almost 2-gallon zip locks of berries.
