March in southern Arizona is perfect

I can hardly stand how wonderful it is to be outside this time of year in Arizona. We hosted two dinners al fresco with Glen at the grill this weekend. Don't you think that food eaten outside tastes better! It made grandma's heart happy to see grandson, ten month old Oscar, devour fresh tomatoes from the garden. Ruby is my other big tomato eater. They must be cousins!

I am so happy to have an outdoor dining space.

Early morning today was truly glorious and so my camera and I shot a view.

The newly planted green beans are up.

The citrus is in bloom. There is nothing more divine than citrus scent in the air.

Geberas are the daisy that just keeps on giving.

It's a miracle every year when the sun gets high enough in the sky to hit the winter shaded part of the garden. The potted plants seem to double overnight.

One of Glen's newest, a camellia bush.

The bougainvillea may be dried leaves and sticks from our freezes, but the trumpet vine has ignored boundaries and climbed the neighbor's palm tree.

And now some of this morning's blooms for your enjoyment.








If your Spring has yet to come, don't worry it will "bee" there soon!

We could smell Glenn's grilling when we walked by on Friday night. I had to hold on to Mark to keep him from wandering into your back yard. Your flowers are beautiful. If you need a place for extra tomatoes, call me:) I wasn't able to plant vegetables this year because our grow boxes are being revamped.
