My two worlds

My two monthly physical environments are often a great contrast, especially in winter. Utah was finally full of snow. Snow it was all the way to the Utah/Arizona border. We stopped to take this picture in Glendale. I finally know how Warren Foote's apple orchard looks with snow.

Once back in Arizona, I walked out the back door and picked this basket of goodness.

There is more to come!

There is also lovely color all over the yard. Cyclyman by the fireplace.

Pansies in pots.

Violas, too.

Icelandic poppies by the garden gate.

In the time we were gone, the flowering pear not only leafed out, it starting flowering as well.

Last year the begonias in the Down Under pots were white. This year they are red. I love the contrast.

There is stock near the sidewalks so that walkers can catch a glorious whiff. Don't you think that they could come up with a better name than "stock" for flowers that smell so good?

Daisies are blooming.

Geraniums are exploding.

And the window box is bursting. Welcome to Arizona in January!
