Spring Has Sprung in the Valley of the Sun

Around here the sun has warmed things up so much that nearly everything is in bloom. We are still waiting on the poppies to line the roads and cover the mountains. (I do think we need a little more rain for that, so it may not happen.

Back in the fall the girls and I threw out some wildflower seeds into the front yard. We have no idea what kind of flowers most of them are.

aloe blooms

desert marigolds

the girls call these "honey flowers"
