Okay, I obviously have not been posting anything about my garden since, (Let’s see, March?). I can’t believe how long it’s been and it’s not due to not having anything to say, but sometimes…there is just nothing interesting going on.
Gardens or in my case “landscape”, are always changing with the seasons and due to little rainfall this past winter, spring was not putting on much of show in my garden.
Yes, the Douglas iris’, Penstemons, and of course the ubiqus California poppy bloomed and so did everything else. But over all the amount of flowers were less than in previous years but still beautiful anyway.
Spring in the garden
I guess the most exciting thing was to find a dead rattlesnake a few months ago, right where I have two chairs under an umbrella. Now I have no idea how it ended up there, but it was a little bit unnerving, needless to say.
It’s extremely hot this week and rattlesnakes will naturally be out and about but not in the middle of the day. Typically, they will find a shady spot under a bush or rock and wait for things to cool down.
Caution prevails, here at my house. I’m not about to be putting my hands or feet in the target zone for their fangs.
