Birds are singing, the sun is out, the sky is blue, and there’s a gentle breeze.
It seems like the perfect time for a couple of Sunday morning songs and a few snapshots of our backyard and a street view.

Thank you! I love the way the flowers could grow in and around the spiky agave, which is super painful when you accidentally get poked with one of those things!

I came inside to take a rest from outdoor spring cleaning only to see your photos of the maginificent flowers and greenery around you. My peonies are just stems popping through the ground, and my daffodils are out in full bloom. We had a freeze warning last night. Tough winter, but looking forward to the beauty and majesty of spring. Your photos helped a lot! Thanks.

You are so sweet, you made MY day! Thank you, thank you! It’s so tough to grow things where we are without a skyhigh water bill; when I see flowers, it makes happy, too! Yay for your peonies, those are some of my faves. And daffodils too, cos they’re so bright and joyful!
