Happy Weekend!<\/p>\n

It’s an exciting weekend. We’re relaxing, enjoying each other and the fruits of our labor.<\/p>\n

Early this morning, I snapped a few pictures to remember some of the things in bloom late January.<\/p>\n

Last weekend we started our annual garden. We are thrilled to see our tomatoes already! Each day we take note of how much they\u00a0are stretching towards the sunshine.<\/p>\n

Our little daisies made an appearance too!<\/p>\n

Out in the garden, the blossoms are many. The ice plant in full bloom.<\/p>\n

What a delight to watch the ground cover that we planted last year. It is filling in beautifully.<\/p>\n

Our birds are in full bloom too.<\/p>\n

Even the tiny flowers on this rather large bush are so delicate yet colorful.<\/p>\n

The honeysuccle adds such a punch of color on the upper terrace.<\/p>\n

The roses tend to bloom year round in So Cal. Another bud getting ready to share its beauty.<\/p>\n

While we enjoy the growth and beauty, it’s still a little on the chilly side to stay too long out doors in the early morning hours. We have mid to upper 60’s in the day and low to mid 40’s at night. Welcome to winter in southern CA. But we are not complaining.<\/p>\n

While the seasons change, I’m thankful to find beauty along the way.<\/p>\n
