High Desert Windy Days
By JM PerezWindy days have returned in the High Desert and thankfully for us, we are done with our Spring cleanup.
This afternoon we accomplished so much in the backyard. We planted and transplanted a few plants. We started weeding all over again since more weeds are actively and rapidly growing from the last rainfall.
I was delighted on Friday morning as I captured the moon as it was still up in the clear blue sky.

I am loving the beautiful sight of our High Desert Mountains. From my backyard these mountains are southeast of us as opposed to the snowy mountains which are southwest. The view is lovely whichever way you look.
The first Tree Rose in the backyard to bloom.
The Dwarf Cup Flower are starting to produce beautiful purple, cup-shaped flowers.
Coleonema Pulchrum “Pink Breath of Heaven” bursting with beautiful tiny pale pink flowers and fragrant leaves.
Three years ago I purchased a Saucer Magnolia tree from Lowe’s, which I found in the plants clearance area. It flowered the following year and hasn’t since then. On Friday we relocated it to the backyard and it’s leafing out. I am confident that it was the right move to help the plant thrive and I am looking forward to see some gorgeous blooms in the up coming days, hopefully.
We finally parted with the huge bare root Ocotillo we’ve had for three years. It never rooted.
Happy Spring Gardening!
