Spring Has Sprung!

I almost want to apologize for writing yet another post that will probably bore everyone to death. Most people I know probably take spring for granted, as they see the same thing year after year. But as for me, I feel like I have missed this most wonderful season for the past six years. In fact, for six years I haven't noticed seasons passing me by at all, except for the 110+ degree weather in the summer (who could miss that?). You see, where I lived before, all I ever saw was palm trees (tons of them), african sumacs, and the occasional pine tree. But not too much vegetation that would indicate what time of year it is. I must add that March has always been one of my favorite months of the year in Vegas, and this year we live in an area where the streets are lined with beautiful trees that are either blooming with gorgeous flowers or growing new little bright green leaves. And for the first time in six years, I am enjoying the beauty of the spring . I also have a backyard now and can enjoy looking out my kitchen window at what spring has brought back there - my new baby trees are blooming and I just recently planted a few little vegetable plants in the garden. Fun, fun, fun. Ah, the beauty of the spring! We've had a cold enough winter that I am ready for the warmer weather. Bring it on...

Yummy tomatoes - I can't wait!

My flowering plum tree is beginning to flower! Who would have thought?

We'll see about these peppers...it's all experimental
