Almost Spring

I love this time of year. Winter is almost over, Southern California doesn't really have winter, and spring is here. We've been lucky to have a few days of rain. With the severe drought we are in, any amount is precious. The plants are loving the rain. 

I love the shades of green from new growth. 

I'm waiting for the sweet smell of Jasmine

Beautiful shades of green

This Gardenia will soon be loaded with fragrant white flowers

The beginning of a snowball

Very soon this plant will be a giant mass of green
with white snowballs covering theses brown stems.

I love this Cecil Brunner rose paired with pink Jasmine



I love working in the yards.
It calms me.
 I do some of my best thinking, troubleshooting, and problem solving, in the outdoors.
I love my space.
I have planted a variety of seeds,
 I am anxious for those signs of tiny growth promising
 a riot of color in a few weeks.
