We’re in the California house this evening. When we got here, I did my usual garden check and took some pictures. This creeping charlie popped up in the whiskey barrel where one of our tropical philodendron plants used to be. The charlie seems to be doing OK in spite of having no attention for nearly three months. Click on the image to enlarge.
After target practice today, we pulled over to the Everett Bowman Rodeo Grounds where a practice session was underway for an upcoming rodeo event. There are a couple of cowboys in the photo that are doing some calf roping practice. Click on the image to enlarge.
We stepped out on the patio this evening at about six and were treated with this beautiful sunset. Gorgeous sunsets are common here, but this one stands out from the rest. Click on the image to enlarge.
We were fortunate to purchase a piece of the Sonoran Desert when we bought our lot in Wickenburg, AZ. I took this photo of one of several cholla growing on the property. I like the way it looks against the blue Arizona sky. Click on the image to enlarge.
Cabela and Beethoven often climb onto the back of the loveseat to keep watch over the local activity through the window in the great room. This is a photo of them sitting up there that I took yesterday. Click on the image to enlarge.
I bought some plastic tulips yesterday at the local discount department store. I came home and decorated the milk can holding up the mailbox with these festive flowers. I took this photo this morning on yet another gorgeous Arizona day. Click on the image to enlarge.
There are many beautiful homes in our town with a wide variety of landscaping and gardening features. This one, near old downtown Wickenburg, has probably been there since the 1920’s or before. The saguaro seems to be very happy. Click on the image to enlarge.
