Only a couple more Friday Night Lights for this Gingi. Both teams lost last week but there is only one winner. My Bree wasn’t selected as homecoming queen, but she was okay. Her dad was so proud of her as he walked her on the field for the announcement. She was stunning.

Friday night lights was fun. Somerville won the trophy defeating Snook in their rivalry game, 20-14, in overtime. Somerville supporters cheered their Yeguas to victory. I know my two grands, Bree and Bean, were exhausted. Bree is a cheerleader and Bean plays offense, defense and center for a special play which I understand is called “tank.” Bean’s coach told me afterwards that they won because I was there. Congratulations to the Yeguas. Homecoming is Friday so stay tuned.

Bouteloua curtipendula, sideoats grama, is a perennial, warm-season, clump-forming grass found in most of North America. It is a Texas native, 8 to 36 inches tall with a jointed hollow stem. In the spring, when young, it is light bluegreen turning to shades of purple when mature. Leaves are about 1 foot long, ½ inch wide, alternate, light green to blue-green.
