We have been getting bids from several landscape contractors for irrigation systems, rocks and plants to the Arizona property. Today, we were visiting one contractor at his garden shop where this cardinal-colored pansy was in bloom. The red color and black face of a cardinal match this flower almost perfectly.

I took this picture yesterday afternoon on US 60 near Salome, AZ, while we were heading to our Arizona home. The saguaro cactus in the foreground and the desert mountain peak in the background makes for a beautiful sight. Click on the image to enlarge.
We crossed from California to our new home in Arizona today. When we drove through the San Bernardino area in the “inland empire,” we passed miles of snow capped mountains. Damsel caught this image of the mountains along with a couple of those ridiculous phony cell palms. This is another case of beauty being obscured by an eyesore or two (sort of like the Wind Turbines in Banning Pass). Click on the image to enlarge.
After clearing out some of the weeds in the garden, we found this pretty (and fragrant) white hyacinth in bloom. Click on the image to enlarge.
I can’t take credit for growing this bright gazania since it was growing at the County Recycle Center. I took this photo yesterday when we were recycling our cans, glass and plastic. Click on the image to enlarge.
This cartoon does a great job of assessing Wisconsin politicians these days . . .
