The weather got cold this week! We had been waking up to 55 degrees the week before, but this week it's been 40! And only about 60 during the day. And the wind...I'm growing very weary of the wind.
Yesterday I walked around searching for some more spring on our property and here is what I found.
 |
| This is a beaver tail cactus. They have the softest looking flowers! |
 |
| Some Mormon Tea. This plant doesn't bloom every year, only when it gets enough water. |
 |
A crazy looking doves nest in my "greenhouse".
It's piled pretty high and she flies off and does her "come eat me" act when I go in there. |
 |
And the creosote. It has the bright yellow little flowers that the desert iguanas like to eat.
I've been keeping my eyes peeled for one, but no such luck. |
I have to admit, I am a little glad it's still cold. It had been getting pretty warm in the afternoon and I was starting to worry about a long summer. Some cold mornings are putting me at ease. But I really would like a break from the wind. Sheesh!
