blossoms, birds, and boots











Life around here has been more beautiful with spring approaching. We have blossoms on our apricot tree, one Turkish fig growing, and several plants waiting to be placed in the ground…. Thornless Mexican lime, Meyer lemon, Rio Red Grapefruit, Satsuma Mandarin, and a Turkish Fig. Last week Steve and his dad used a Ditch Witch to dig several deep holes for all these fruit trees to have a home.

I pruned all the plumeria trees we inherited from my parents. Next week I will plant those clippings and more than double our plumeria tree supply!

Syd loves helping me in the yard, with her boots on, of course. She helps pull weeds, water plants, and gives me company, all in her own special way.

And everyday we have vibrant colored hummingbirds that stop by to drink “nectar”…. if only I knew which one nearly attacked me by swarming around my head!
