Our New Home

We are enjoying the warmer weather in our new home in Mesquite, Nevada. Ron has the garden plot in and a few rows with tomato plants, Anaheim peppers, egg plants, with seeds planted for cantaloupes, and Crenshaws. Our garden here at home he's planted a few tomato plants, and seeds for cucumbers.

He has been focused on having our front yard become an orchard. So far he has planted several trees. 2 pomegranate, one apricot, one peach and two fig trees. I even requested a Bouganvillea vine. He installed the drip irrigation system out front. (See photos)
He has been busy!

Happy Easter!!

So love these beautiful flowers we got yesterday. The smell of Spring flowers takes me back to the years in elementary school. They remind me when I went to school at Wm Penn Elementary school in Chicago.

Spring is always a wonderful time of the year especially after a long winter and its lack of sunny days. It is almost as if the Earth is asleep in the winter and wakes up to Spring!

Hope Springs eternal and the newness of life begins all over again. Much like the earth is being resurrected each year. The burst of Spring brings the daffodils, tulips and pansies are my favorite signs of Spring at last.

Easter is also part of that promise of life eternal and its beauty abounding wherever you look. The grass is green again, the skies are clear and blue. What more can be said?
