Princess and a Pea

How come your dog picks up some habits you never taught her? Does it depend on breed or is it build in?
Our little shih tzu girl became a young lady and I guess she remembers the story about Princess and a pea :) A girl just can't sleep right if there is not enough of pillows under neath!

I wish she would remember her manners during her Royal lunch :)

Spring garden

Time is flying and I did not notice that out spring has almost become summer. The roses are blooming like there is no tomorrow, and we already have our nectarines ripening. The pomegranate tree is blooming wonderful. I have never had one so I am not too experienced with this one. We are preparing to move to another house so I have slightly sad feeling about not be able to see my garden anymore. I hope the new owners will love it.

The signs of spring

There are signs of spring everywhere. Even though it is still cold at night the trees and plants can feel the Sun's movement and we finally have some buds on our lemon tree.I planted some spring bulbs in December and there is finally signs of life on the hyacinth.
Ranunculus was a new plant for me to overwinter, but it seems to be a success. I can already see some small leaves coming through.
We are still feeling much more comfortable indoors with cup a of hot soup but we are starting to do small things in the garden. It is so enjoyable!

But someone small thinks there is a long way until spring! So she is curling up somewhere in a corner like a little fluffy ball :)

Desert in bloom

Spring is everywhere and it came to a desert, too.

It is so colorful this time of the year! The heavy winter rains are gone and desert came alive with a beautiful bloom.

We are lucky to have a regional park close by so we can enjoy wildflowers and cactus bloom any time we like.

There is also a great hiking trails - what a great way to spend a weekend in April!

Love Spring.
Love desert.

Remind me of this in a mid of July, when it will be around 115'F outside :)
