Tastes of Autumn…


The wild blooms of the rabbit brush, clouds hanging on the Sierra Nevada, a cold breeze singing through the sagebrush - yes, hints of autumn are here. Had to bundle up this late afternoon to clean corals. brrrrrrr - but refreshing. I'm hoping I can fight my way out of my muddle in this season I love. So far haven't moved the black cloud hanging over me…summer passed by with me barely noticing. I'm so tired.

Brave sunflower…


Brave little sunflower popped up in the middle of a rock path - I'm sure due to birds spreading the seeds. There are plenty of tall ones scattered around the gardens for the birds and bees to enjoy.

Finally, a beautiful sunset…


A sunset without smoke. This is what I've missed for the last month. Nothing like a big sky sunset!

What is this…


While I was jogging in the desert yesterday, I saw this. Wonderful surprise. I've never seen anything like this in our desert - maybe a bird dropped a seed? Anyone know what it is?

Sitting in the garden…


This ole' chair was too rickety for sitting in, so I turned it into a planter for the front yard. It should really brighten up the front yard when winter sets in - bright pink with a backdrop of snow. Hmmmmm.
