Spring in January

Our Nectarine Tree bloomed in January.

After a couple of days with desert temperatures in the 80's, the dormant branches came alive with a mass of beautiful, lightly scented pink flowers. The bees were kept busy in the profusion of blossoms. Fresh new leaves started appearing not long after the flowers.

Our Peach Tree bloomed a week later, and the Apricot Tree is still patiently biding its time.

I shot new photos of some of the Gourd Bird Houses we have for sale in our online Etsy shop. Once the pics are cropped and re-sized, I'll get them uploaded to our shop.

The colors in this image turned out really nice.

In recognition of this being our first blog posting, here is one of my favorite quotes:


"Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something."
