Welcome To Spring In Arizona!


Spring is wonderful in the Mohave Desert. Wildflowers abound and the Joshua Trees blossom. This year the blooms are magnificent!







These pictures were taken in my yard.  The cactus have buds but so far they haven`t opened.  On a recent visit to the Lake Mead overlook nearby a friend and I found this lovely barrel cactus. It`s about 3 feet tall sitting between a creosote bush and Joshua tree.


I`ll have more pictures after the wildflowers bloom. Thanks for visiting!

Nancy Drew Blog Hop Has Begun!

 If you haven`t already heard, the fabulous Nancy Drew Blog Hop has begun. I invite you to visit the ladies and enjoy their projects.


Here is the link to the schedule at  Just Let Me Quilt. The participating blogs are well worth a visit. Some ladies are offering Giveaways. My day is Monday, March 11.

Very busy just now. Aging pets needing extra care plus the usual long distance running around takes a lot of my time. Minimal time for blogging or sewing.

Spring is here despite the little bit of snowfall yesterday. The vultures aren`t back yet but the Joshua trees are in bud and soon will bear sweet smelling flowers. Really STRONG sweet smelling flowers. It`s like standing in line near someone wearing intense perfume. Inside the flowers are seed pods ensuring the next batch of Joshua trees. The Joshua is not really a tree, not really a cactus. It`s a member of the lily family.





 There are 20 plus Joshua`s in my yard. They provide shade for us, shelter and nesting areas for Cactus Wrens and Sparrows. In the background, way back in the hills, is where we prospect for gold.

I am glad to be posting again. Thank you for visiting.
