A little Saturday Sky including my dormant garden boxes.
I was feeling a bit better today after being under the weather since Wednesday so I grabbed a jacket and the camera and walked around outside. It was a nice day to get some fresh air with partly sunny skies and a breeze making temperatures in the mid-60s feel a bit cool without a jacket.
My herb garden is coming to life. My irises aren't quite as far along as Joan's but I'm sure they won't be too far behind. The weeds are starting up so I may spend some time tomorrow playing in the herb garden.
When I first started walking around this afternoon, the prominent thoughts running through my mind were similar to "Oh boy, I have a lot to work on in the yard!" However, the sunshine and the breeze combined with the sound of the birds drew my mind to ignore the to-do list for today.
The apple trees are developing buds.

Here's another video of the stream. It took most of the afternoon to upload to YouTube on our meager DSL connection but I think it may give you a taste of today if you can over look the wind noises.
Lovely, thank you for sharing. It's so peaceful.

What a lovely, peaceful spot. Kitteh seems to like it, too.
Are those curved raised beds your herb garden? They are awesome!

Lovely! The bird sounds really got everyone's attention here - 3 heads popped up. Loved the kitty snacks too ;)

Wonderful! I loved the birdies in the background and your little protector making sure you didn't fall in.
*numnumnum* must keep mom safe, or Gods will be mad - need sustenance
I hope that I will be able to partake of your iris this year. (pleasepleaseplease) It was awesome to hear your voice. We REALLY need to get together soon. When is Taos?
Happy Sunday Angie, and remember - Do.Not.Over.Do.It. mmmmkay?!?!

Deep envy going on over here because of your raised beds. That brook looks like it's good for tadpole catching in the summer.

Your yard is rocking! It's nice to see there are blue skies somewhere. It's been gray & rainy since last Thurs/Friday.

Nice peaceful stream! Grass eating kitteh. Better than the birds!
The nutmeg thyme is really popping up. I think it likes the CA weather. ;)
