Aaahh, Spring!

Beautiful weather, everything has "greened up", flowers are blooming..... it's lovely outside and it's hard to come in at a decent hour.  We usually come in later than we'd like, then it seems there's not much of an evening left to do anything inside.  Oh well, we are enjoying the outside for sure.
On Easter Sunday, we took a drive over to Linda's and Mom's house, taking a few of our special plants with us for them to take care of.  Here's a picture of the truck loaded up with a few choice plants for them:  a golden barrel cactus, a saguaro cactus, a desert rose, an organ pipe cactus, a lime tree and a lemon tree.
Our neighbor emailed us later that day, saying they saw the "jungle version of the Nissan Frontier drive by".

Our purple/blue Irises are really beautiful this year.

Here's what it looks like as we walk into our backyard from the garage.

The annual picture of this rose.  Guess this is the last time we'll be seeing this incredibly beautiful rose bush bloom.

Now a few pictures of Guillermo's garden.  He's been working so hard in it, and loving every single minute.

The green beans are in place, with their climbing fence ready.

The tomato plants are looking nice and healthy.

Poppies starting to bloom in the garden.  Guillermo can't wait for them to be done with, so he can have the space for vegetables.
