There are so many stories of animals initially brought to a location as exotic pets and ending up escaping causing catastrophic results for native habitats. The python problem in Florida is a glaring example. Could kangaroos in Texas escape and gain a foothold in Texas?
If you haven't noticed, it is extremely hot throughout all of the state of Texas. Temperatures across the state will reach well above 100 degrees multiple times this week. Here in Lubbock, we could see a high around 108 degrees on Tuesday, and no we won't be the hottest in the state...
It's that time of year peeps! One thing I do look forward to this time of year is fresh produce. No lie. I am that girl that gets excited when a friend or family member shares the goods from their garden, the literal fruits of their labor.
