Our yard is pretty right now with everything so green and lots of different blooms.

Above is the Rhode Island Greening apple tree. I wonder if we’ll get apples this year. We only bought this about a year ago so I’m not sure.

Lots of California poppies. I tried for years to get them to grow here but finally, my daughter, the gardener, got some to grow and once they start, they will spread.

Here’s the white camellia tree. This is the only original plant from when we moved here.

I’m not sure how old it is but probably over 50 years. It is of unknown variety but again probably one that doesn’t exist as such anymore. Where the Buddha is, is where Ollie and Winnie are buried. I still miss them.

Here’s handsome Gus though!!! He’s a very big cat and such a baby!!

This is the fence with wisteria. It’s about to burst!!

A redbud in bloom.

This came as a twig and my daughter got it to grow in a pot and then now in the ground.

This is part of the cherry tree. This is a fruit-bearing tree but the birds get them before we do.

This is the eucalyptus I bought last year. It’s still in a pot. It’s putting out some nice new growth.

this is English lavender. The stalks are different from French lavender.

All the Japanese maples are leafed out and look pretty. Again, my daughter has planted probably 25 Japanese maples around the property. Mostly they come up as seedlings around the big one we have. That one we brought with us from Foresthill was probably 5 years old then.

Yesterday I went to the gym and library and both were good. Not too busy. Today is a home day and I plan on doing a few organizing things, cooking the turkey chili, and reading some.

Barclay plans to start on the bathroom window this week. Well, I guess he needs to go buy it first and then he’ll start. I’m still not sure what we should do about the tub. It all seems a bit overwhelming. But I guess we’ll figure it out.
