Don Wes Burned Today
Flea Market Near Mexican Border Engulfed in Flames
A large fire broke out at the Don-Wes Flea Market in Donna, Texas, on July 16. Video filmed by Mike Garcia Jr. shows heavy gray smoke billowing from the site. The market contained over a dozen vendors and a restaurant, according to their website, and had been in the community for 22 years. Local news reports said multiple agencies responded to the fire on Saturday. No injuries were reported. Other video filmed Saturday showed debris from destroyed structures at the location. “Grateful to Weslaco FD for their response to control and put out the fire,” said Congressman Vicente Gonzalez in a post on Facebook.

This and That
The 4th of July has come and gone and yes, the days are already starting their downward trend although as of yet it's not noticeable. It rained off and on here yesterday but cleared off in time for the fireworks last night. We could hear them but did not drive to town see them going off. We watched the Capital 4th on PBS but to be honest I found it somewhat disappointing. We've watched it every year for many years but this year it did not "trip my trigger". The woman who played the piano was very good and had the music memorized which is no easy feat but for some reason I found the whole show somewhat disappointing. Oh well, each to their own and as most of you know I am somewhat picky!
I don't have anything in the way of news so thought I would give you a couple of recent bird photos. Some of you will have seen them on Facebook but not everyone is on Facebook. The top one is a male Baltimore Oriole enjoying grape jelly and below that are two Red-headed Woodpeckers.

Happy 4th of July
Enjoy the holiday today and let's hope we all have some nice weather. Storms predicted here for later but right now the sun is just coming up and it looks nice out. As far as I know, no news from anyone so that is actually good news.
