Spring is Here (I Think)

Spring blooms

White blossoms

Blooming in my neighbor's yard.

A riot of flowers

Spring has arrived here in the Mojave Desert. The mulberries and cottonwoods are leafing out. I'm seeing more rabbits; both cottontails and jackrabbits. No baby quail yet though. Saw a roadrunner running across the road yesterday. Hence the name I suppose.

We got more pallets so we can make a chicken coop and raised beds. The chickens are already growing at a friend's house. So we need to get the hen house built. So much to do all of a sudden!

Our neighbor's cherry and plum trees are full of blossoms. Hope springs eternal for me every spring. Last year's gardening failures are forgotten but lessons learned. Time to plant.

We spent a lot of time pruning my neighbor's fruit trees. Now they are blooming like crazy. I just wish I could remember which ones are plums and which ones are cherries. Or maybe there is an apple tree in there.
