Picture my "winter" yard.(I still dont knw how to post a picture)
The bermuda grass is now a tan color. All of my orange trees still have lush leaves and ripe oranges all over them!! My roses are blooming. The cottonwood trees are beautiful yellow and are loosing their leaves. The mesquite trees still have leaves on them. My eucaliptus (sp) trees are beautiful and have full silvery green foliage. The rosemary are full of light blue blooms and covered with bees. My "winter" garden is in full bloom: marigolds, lobelias, viola, johnny jump ups, panzys and petunias. I am getting my garden ready now.
Its been a wonderful winter this year. The highs have been constantly in the 70's and the lows around the high 30's and low 40's. I think the coldest day we have had this year was around 50 degrees.
Of course you all will be laughing at me in July!! |
