Around the Yard . . .
CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER VIEW
Spring in Beatty. My oh my -- beautiful wildflowers and exotic animals. Okay, maybe they're not technically exotic, but they're exotic to me; the wildlife I'm used to are things like squirrels, rabbits and maybe the occasional groundhog.
Here, though, we share our yard with things like jack rabbits, pack rats, numerous species of lizards and even, on occasion, a small band of burros.
The yellow flower is from the CREOSOTE BUSH. The purples are mojave asters. I'll take these over dandelions any day.
The lizard is the "desert spiny lizard." It was extremely wary of me.. hiding under the wheel of the car -- "Ha! She can't see me now!"
Oh, and our new back porch (5th pic) is finally finished. It's absolutely fantastic.. keeps the sun off the back of the house and gives us a place to hang, cook out, star-gaze, photograph burros, whatever. . .
Life is sweet.

What a great verandah. Will it be comfortable spending time out there all through the year? Fascinating wild life for you to watch, too.
Would love to swap back yards with you for a bit. Bet you don't have to bother watering any of those plants.
Hey, it IS a verandah, isn't it, not just a porch. All we need now are the mint juleps LOL
A yard swap would be fascinating. A tropical place like you're living would be another completely new experience for me. Although I already feel like I've swapped yards with someone on the other side of the world; everything here is so new and different.
I have to water the roses!
