I honestly did not believe the desert could be so green! I mean I have lived in a variety of desert environments and I love the dry, barren, landscape. The red colors contrast against the big blue sky. The cacti and wildflowers pop with color when they bloom. But, I did not think anything would grow so prolifically in this climate. Our yard is out of control with trees, flowers, grapes, and weeds! We chopped a bunch of things back about a month ago and with the monsoon season, they have gone crazy! Don't believe me - here's a photo.
Anyway - the maintenance takes up our weekends. After we called it quits, I captured an awesome photo of some dragonflies - they are enjoying our pond.
Clara decided a little sun-bathing was in order after running around the yard for the morning.
Gifford just wanted to play.
And I was ready (after church) to enjoy a mint mojito on my porch:)
Happy Weekend!
