What a difference a year makes!
It seems as if we just took down the Christmas decorations, but no one is complaining about the blue skies and warm sunshine. Last year, we were experiencing record breaking low temperatures. This year, spring seems to have arrived a month early.
Here are a few quick shots, taken before setting out on a bicycle ride, to show the happy response of the wild flowers in the yard.
Salvia crowding the front patio.
A happy Brittle Bush bursting with flowers.
More Salvia on the far side of the driveway.
Parry's Penstamon are also very happy.
More Penstemon next to the Organ Pipe cactus.
A closer view.
