Spring continues



Beautiful weather; today's high in the low 70s. Plants and people and critters are loving it. We got just a slight trace of rain last night; wish we would get more but the storms are staying to the north and we're getting mostly the winds, which stir up the dust and the allergies, and the barometric changes which bring grief to joints such as mine.

Beautiful flowers continue to come into bloom and more interesting creatures come to light as we work around the yard. We found a tiny banded gecko when moving cardboard boxes; it's one of the youngest I've encountered. We let it find a new home after it got photographed. The hybrid tea rose shown above is the variety "Arizona" which does very well here indeed--appropriately named! It is fragrant as well.
