A bountiful harvest...I hope

After visiting Death Valley, I took on projects around the house to finish out my spring break. I painted the office a nice taupe color and did a LOT of work in the yard. It's amazing how a lot of work in the yard can look like not very much in the end, but then it all grows and you see the results of your efforts. In our vegetable garden, I planted two kinds of tomatoes, green peppers, purple peppers, green beans, tomatillos, yellow neck squash, zucchini, cantaloupe seeds, spinach seeds, and green onion seeds. Whew! On top of all that, our cherry, plum, aprium, apricot, orange trees are blooming and the poimegranate should not be too far behind. Who knew I would someday be a farmer!

The next morning I sat on the back patio to eat my breakfast and watched a squirrel go crazy over the seed that dropped when my homemade birdfeeder broke. He even stood on top of the feeder at one time and ate off the bird stoop from the roof. I love having a yard full of life.
