Brittany, take pictures next time you drive by, would love to see that garden. Or see if they want to host a garden swap...lol!

Took a few more pics over the last couple of days. Japanese Maple is behind the tall, gray-green volunteer.

Love my Japanese Maple and am so happy it's thriving!

Difficult to capture the hummers as they flit over the surface of the lawn.

All kinds of birds come and go all day long. Brenda gave this birdbath to me couple of years ago. Thanks, Brenda!

Not too many nasturtium yet, but, happy to have just this one!

This has been in it's large pot for about 18 months and seems to like it so far!

Odd to see this hummer hanging out so low to the ground!

I like this color.

Little arrangement I made.

I took a lot of pictures of this guy... some better than others.

Spanish Lavender

Weed and Organ Pipe

Love this iris I got from Judy at a swap

Busy Bee

Another iris

Same birdie.... Starling

That's all.

sp pretty! Everything! I am not gardening this year so will be living vicariously through all of you. Susie, I especially love the bird bath, half daisies (one of my fav's) and the last with the baby in the cactus. Sweet.
I have a Bonsai kit for you: someone gave it to me and I think you have the patience to play with it.

Everything looks beautiful! I feel almost like I'm having my glass of wine in your garden! That last pic of the starling is very funny... he looks mad that that's the last picture! You're so welcome for the birdbath... you did something very nice for me as well. I may have to try lavendar here... perhaps I have just the right impossible conditions in which it will thrive, LOL! We actually got to get out in the shade garden today and get some major cleanup done, very productive! It's almost time for the garden wakening ceremony!
