These are some pics I took about 3 weeks ago on a walk in my neighborhood. The foliage is pretty common around here - requires little watering and does well in this soil. The lavender bush is "lavender" Lots of people have it in their yards. It grows like crazy. The house with the brightly colored door is in my block. I love it. In the fall and winter when everything is brown, it brightens up the scenery. Xerascaping is very popular here since the water supply is dwindling, 2 houses with xerascaping. I am including one tree that I have no idea what the tree is but it was gorgeous at that time. The leaves at the top of the tree were bright green and there were long willow-like vines flowing down with bright red and orange leaves. It was a beauty. I had to send a pic of a cactus. Finally, there is a bush with pink-red flowers - I think it is a form of sage. The hummers love it in summer. If one of you wants to put these up sometime when the wells have run dry elsewhere, post which ones you like. All are within 2 blocks of my house.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 203 of 203Coreen,you have a point - we don't need to do too much naval-gazing. I think the MB is just a fun way to look at ourselves and enjoy who we are. What is fun is to see how very similar we all are - here.
I look forward every day to coming here and seeing what you all are up to - and what you have been chatting about while I have been gone.
I enjoy the company of all of you. Its nice to have someone to visit with early in the morning or to catch up on the chatting if I can't sleep at night too.

Yes Jan. Do you do what it said though: vent to a close friend or loved one, that can be trusted. I 'always' do. I can't seem to keep anything inside for long.
We're looking forward to those pics. You mad?
