Gatorade, resting and just breathing






I, once again, didn't have anything to share early this a.m. I finally got up a little "go" to go with my "get up" and went outside. All it takes to get that go
a-goin' is just to get outside. The first thing I found were these beautiful yellow flowers growing, took a picture and then saw that my whole desert is covered with a mat of these beautiful tiny blue/purple flowers. Those beautiful tiny things will soon turn into tiny little monsters. They will soon dry up and have either burrs or goat heads all over my desert. Goat heads are a tiny little things about the size of a match head with one very sharp, hard thorn. Little monsters. After a while, my veggie garden started calling my name. It said, "I am in danger of strangling because of the bermuda grass coming in, HELP" So, I started digging out the roots of the bermuda. I had hung the camera on the gate so I wouldn't forget to take it inside when I wore out and along came BB and he took a couple of pictures of the ugly-ist flower in my garden. ....oh yes, the other picture is of the lettuce coming up.

Ugliest?! My dear, you are a rose among the thorns, goatheads and burrs!

Bermuda grass. How I hated that stuff when we lived in California. We were always fighting a losing battle against it.
Happy gardening.
