Hey, It's Cactus Monday!
Succulents that keep on giving...given to me originally from my cousin Judy with the real green thumb!

Hey, It's Cactus Monday!
Succulents that keep on giving...given to me originally from my cousin Judy with the real green thumb!
Soaking up rain water.
Also from Judy! Thanks Judy for all these pretties in my patio garden.
Yellow bush coming back after having been freed when the gardeners took down all the vines that had buried it.
Signs of new life on my fig tree too, hopefully with promise of a bountiful summer ahead.
These bushes cover our garbage and recycle cans on the side of the house. I like the red against the blue sky.
This I may have mentioned before is an black obsidian rock with a circa 1970's lady vase leaning against it. The rock is a marker for the resting place of our former cat, Brand. He lived to be 14 in this house and yard. When we brought him here as a new kitten his name was Brand New Cat. The Brand stuck. He was orange. And deeply loved.
And this is one of three very tall Redwood trees in this corner...Henry loves to scratch on them.
They were planted by us in 1988, the year we moved into this then new home.
Enjoy your day.
Hope you find time to be creative!
Hope I do too!

Excellent job of Henry!! love all the succulents. It is Cactus Monday after all. :)
ReplyDeleteThat bush with the Red on it is called Photina. we have them all around the back fence for privacy. they can get to a tree if you let them go as we have one out front too but we keep them cut low so they are more fence like and keep thick in the middle. A lovely marker for Brand too.
Lynn, what a lovely post! First - Henry V....I would know those Green Eyes and that intelligent expression anywhere!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the new blooms and buds that definitely show Spring is here! (Still very cold and wet here....but, this morning, during our one day rain-free, the birds are serenading me....
Loved to hear about *Brand*....I was so moved...and what a lovely resting place you and your DH have honoured him with!
Those Redwood Trees....ah, the PURRFECT scratching post for the King!
Big hugs,
♥ Robin ♥

Lots of pretties around your yard. I love succulents and yours are very nice. I especially like that lady vase. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHenry is such a handsome guy no matter how he is presented. Love your succulents. I have been doing most of my creating outside right now. Working in the garden. Such a beautiful early spring for us. HCM.
ReplyDeleteHenry is a good poser :)
ReplyDeleteyour garden area looks so warm and sunny - and I love the redwood tree - I see those every once in a while towering above someone's home, and I think to myself, "they brought that from california" :)
LOVE all these beautiful succulents and gorgeous other plants. Spring has certainly arrived by you.
ReplyDeleteGreat likeness of HV Lynn! I love succulents. You have a nice variety. And the marker for Brand...so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI really need to paint Henry one day!
happy week :)
LoLo♥
Love this mixture and with a wonderful beginning with Henry V to draw us in.
ReplyDeleteAs Spring is here, all the shots here look so lovely and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe tree that you have planted since 1988 is so huge now. Great rewards with gardening!
Happy Spring!
Gorgeous photos and a wonderful drawing of Henry V!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
