Walking Around...

 I had such a nice time Saturday and yesterday walking around the nursery!
The "Blue Glow' Agaves were soaking up the sun.  These are such a great little Agave.  I have one in a planter that is beautiful paired with a few sedum that looks fantastic if I do say so myself.  Of course I did not get a shot of that... but maybe I will today and post it on the next post.
I haven't been out there much lately but starting to get back to my normal routine- oh how I have missed it!!  I had such a good time yesterday checking on everything and getting to spend some real time out there.  Up till now, it's been an hour here or an hour there, so I was really excited yesterday to spend basically half the day out there looking at everything and seeing how everything is "waking up"!!  The Gopher Plants are starting to bloom and the bees are all over the place- what a nice sight to see them hard at work!
 This little Cactus was screaming for attention- he wanted to be included- can't wait for the entire thing to be full of blooms!!!
The Aloe Vera is reaching up to the sky and about to open up.
agarita"
The Agarita are blooming away- I have to admit, this is the only time I find them intriguing...They are prickly little guys and no matter how careful I think I am being around them, I always get nipped!
The Lion's tail are starting to bloom in the large Agave pot.  They are a long time favorite of mine.
 Just thought I'd share a few shots of things the past few days that stood out to me that I thought looked pretty!  (along with the little House Finch I posted about yesterday who was so sweet!!!) 
Hope you enjoyed them!!  Glad to be back!!  Have I mentioned that???
