A few of my favorite things...

Ava's lavender....

Our first Strawberries.....

A Verbena that I thought died last summer....

Fragrant orange blossoms...

This could also be titled...

Things I wish you could see and smell...

Reasons the backyard makes me smile everyday...

Why isn't everyone doing this....

I guess living in Arizona isn't soo bad.....

Reasons why picking weeds is all worth it....

I really do wish you could smell my orange, lemon and apple trees.  I wish you could hear the buzzing of the bees.  I wish you could taste the last little bits of peas that Ava considers found treasures.  I wish you could see the tiny little strawberries, and teeny tiny grapes.   I wish you could feel how much cooler the air feels around a garden, even on an arid day.

This post should really be called...

I wish you were here.....

Happy April Everyone!!
