Doves

Today we had a Thunder Storm with lots of Lightning ...there is a stick bug living on my kitchen window screen... I found 2 baby doves under the peach tree.

July Summer days

I think that July is the month my yard looks best. It is hot (near 1oo today) but with late afternoon breezes.

July is here !!

July is here and that makes the year 1/2 over already. I alway think that July is one of the months my yard is at it's best. All the trees and plants are so lush and full you can barely see the house. It is now hot..average temps in the high 90's.

Summer is Here

More of my plants are blooming now that summer is officially here. My poker plant has poker flowers and the roses are blooming. My St John's Wort is covered with blooms but one yellow flower was the first to break out. Can you see all the apples hanging over the water falls? It is gonna be a bumper crop.

Summer Flowers

Just a few of the flowers currently blooming in my yard

Thunder Storm and Rainbow

We have been having thunder storms and rain for the last week or so but today there was also a big beautiful rainbow. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was a full rainbow and the colors were very bright.

June 1st

I can't believe it is June already. It isn't offically Summer until later this month but I always think of all of June as Summer. All the trees have leaves and the roses are starting to bloom. The iris's and phoneys are blooming where as the lilacs are gone. There was a thunder storm this afternoon which is very common in this part of Nevada in June.
