Still Green in Yuma

Lots going on in the garden! Usually, we keep this paddle cactus cut back because it gets too huge for the space which is almost the case now. Neglect is their best friend; everything is looking healthy!

Lensbaby!

Got me a new artsy camera lens, here's one of my first attempts, strawberries forever. It will be fun to play around with, especially with my style of photography. Lensbaby creates a round spot of focus with soft edges, great bokeh, and a painterly effect.

Everyday Food

We love salads, all different kinds.. this one has shrimp topped on a bed of spinach salad. Although shrimp has a bunch of cholesterol, we can have it as a treat now and then right? But salad everyday!!

Don't get to see daffodils around here too much. Dunno, people just don't plant them, but these
