a clematis is elegant -- even the spent seed heads are classy!

it's oldies but goodies week -- pj day at the office 2007?  notice Joy in the back -- she came in normal clothes ...

a coneflower family member -- the plant was part of a dish garden (of grandma's)

kinda cool eh?

the old red tractor and the really old disk ...

road to somewhere -- heading back home --- eastbound

California Poppies --- they were nice -- until the monsoon hit and wiped them out... every garden needs a pop of orange -- it's becoming my new favorite color.

harry, the fuzzy black barn cat -- kinda skinny, but kinda friendly

the old fashioned tiger lily is always a favorite -- these are decendents from those of my great grandmother -- they kind of pop up here there and everywhere -- tough buggers!

newly planted (05/09/10) squash and pumpkins... it was a good day to be planting -- they leap out of the ground when it warms up!
