After school fun

I have fun after school (when it is nice outside) working in the garden. I am still gathering tumble weeds and loading them up to discard in the dumpster. There are so many weeds to deal with because of the water war here in Colorado. Farmers can't use their irrigation wells without augmentation; and without the water, the fields grow weeds. It is not pretty seeing the abandoned fields...

Blooms and new leaves

A close up for your enjoyment :)


Most of the buds are now open on my flowering almond. I just love this bush when it blooms in the spring. The rest of the time it has narrow green leaves, nothing special. I guess we all have our 'best' season.

Our locust tree is leafing out and with today at 82 degrees, it won't be long until the foliage is full size. Of course that means the weather is going to change in a few days, just when we are planning on going to the Rockies game on Friday evening. Then it's going to be in the 60's, with rain showers forecast!

playing with the camera again

Well, how can the tulips be standing tall and the birdbath be tilting so much? It can't be my technique or angle, can it? Anyway, it lets you see the garden I enjoy every time I go out the front door. In the background is the ramp we poured a few summers ago when my mom came to stay with us when she broke her leg. We've enjoyed being "handicapped accessible" for both families.
