I'm always on my way out the door..

I've crawled up on the barn roof to get pictures of deer, for real!

Planted a bunch of lily bulbs today - I'm bushed! No roof climbing for me this evening!

How many holes did you dig? They will be beautiful this summer. I need to dig 5 holes for some that I bought.

About 50 bulbs, so 20 maybe? Somewhere in that vicinity, anyway. And of course, some other plants had to be moved to get the job done.

Those coneflowers just pop up everywhere...

Oh, those darn Coneflowers. What a curse.

Well since we had no winter to speak of, I am expecting giant mosquitoes, giant flies, and giant weeds. Here is one of the weeds, it is 15 inches wide and tall.

I sprayed it with round up yesterday and it laughed at me!

Give PEACE a chance!

My Gaillardias are showing more vigor now as more warmth comes in. Though it did manage to bloom sporadically throughout winter, as Spring comes, it becomes much more active:
Container 1

Close-up of blooms/buds, I think this is the Arizona Sun, this ones makes its blooms faster.

Container 2:
One stalk got knocked down a bit by the winds a few days ago, but it still continues to push the blooms on the bent stalk:

Close-up of buds:

My golden yarrow during Spring looks so fern-like and it is also forming its buds:
