According to our neighbor, the previous owner of our house planted bulbs all over the place. As spring nears, the bulbs are starting to come up and yesterday we got our first sign of color. It’s going to be fun to watch as all the different bulbs bloom! It’s like having a mystery garden.
Edit: Thank you to Mitch for the correction. Duly updated!

Not all the leaves have given up.
I raked the front yard this morning, and of course, I took the opportunity . . .
And for your listening pleasure . . .
Just a few quickies from yesterday morning. I have been going through camera withdrawal, as the move has put a serious crimp in my photographic forays. Afterward, I headed off to the storage unit to grab more boxes to unpack. Almost there . . .
We have two large trees in the backyard: a maple and an apple. The maple is shedding leaves like crazy, but the apple tree is still hanging on to hers.
The dogs are getting used to having dogs all around them. I can’t tell you how worried I was that we would move into a neighborhood where we’d have the only barking dogs, thereby ensuring our social ostracism. Fortunately, our two aren’t the worst barkers in the neighborhood.

That is not our pot but a leftover from the previous residents. Needless to say, this little plot of dirt will never see plants actually in the ground. Buddy has already claimed it, so potted plants will be the order of the day.
They don’t know it yet, but as soon as I get dressed, the three of us are going for a W-A-L-K.
And the next day, they weren’t.
Autumn is here. Fortunately, the days ahead are clear and not too cold, which is fortunate as we will be moving on Saturday. This is sooner than anticipated, but good for us logistically. So this blog may go dark for the next few days, unless I can find time to blog via iPad. I rather doubt it, though.
The last two evenings have seen thunderstorms roll through northern Nevada. On Tuesday it was too rainy and windy to try to capture anything as I wasn’t about to take my camera and self out into that mess, but yesterday evening saw the worst of the storms a bit to the south of us and after many, many, MANY tries, I finally captured this.
