Long time has gone by for me posting - life always gets in the way. My friend reminded me that it was very outdated - so it is. I think Facebook has taken over the news we used to post on a blog. We are getting ready to leave again for our Oregon trip and getting the yard together for the gardener. Spring is really showing in my yard and around our lake in the park we live in. I had lilacs trying to bloom in December - par for Southern California - daffodils came up in January with lots of buds, but when the weather turned cold, they never opened. Lilac is also sparse on blooms, I am sure due to the drastic weather changes we are having. Here are some photos of my roses and iris in the yard - ducks are up front at the lake. Enjoy
