   Decades when I lived there, you can imagine my shock that sometime after New Year’s Day when fall ended, it went straight to spring…each of my 3 years there! So different than seasons in Oklahoma and Colorado! #4 and #8 right up my alley…perfect.

      Yeppers. We have so many seasons here that it’s hard to keep track of them all–rainy season, spring, fire season, tourist season…..

      The Yellow Rose of Not Texas is in my garden. It’s a weed. It grows in the midst of cactus and native vegetation, and I cannot get rid of it. I have dug it out, Round-Upped it, drowned it, droughted it……..It’s like the Energizer Bunny, just keeps going and going and going.

          It’s a very dreary time of year here and I crave that summer weather and my garden. I could live in Calif. quite happily.

    Wow. Being in cold, wintry upsate New York, these floral pics are a breath of fresh sopring air! I especially love how you captured the buds just about to burst into bloom; on the cusp of something beautiful (the fuschia with the dew drops is especially stunning). Thank you for this gift!
