The Cedar Elm seeds and the Live Oak catkins (I call them brown squigglies) are the worse.<br /><br />Try not to overdo it. <br /><br />Love the cactus blooms....Linda/patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639872362919575736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-87179501783189925822016-04-12T17:26:53.634-07:002016-04-12T17:26:53.634-07:00Afraid my blower is of the electric sort although ...Afraid my blower is of the electric sort although not too heavy. I find that for blowing leaves off the driveway I just let my arm hang loose. Even so it is taxing. As for sleeping last night. I think I overdid it and my body would not shut down. Need to be more careful or I will wear out. I'm glad you like the plantings. Most of it is just happenstance but I am thinking of replacing the Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-62860530597631860782016-04-12T13:03:02.894-07:002016-04-12T13:03:02.894-07:00the lace cactus is wonderful, but i'm most tak...the lace cactus is wonderful, but i'm most taken with the first photo: what a great composition around that dry creek bed!

We don't have live oak here. Just a "normal" oak tree, but it grows only in deep forest so we don't have those problems. Although I could use a leaf blower for or the other small leaves that fall down. If they weren't so ridiculously expensive here.--Ana--https://www.blogger.com/profile/04065067119159738087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-87662414242082506002016-04-11T21:48:48.840-07:002016-04-11T21:48:48.840-07:00The cactus is a beautiful sight, and I'm glad ...The cactus is a beautiful sight, and I'm glad you didn't miss it -- nor did we, thanks to your wonderful photos.

Your post reminded me that I failed to check my Easter lily cactus (Echinopsis oxygona) as I'd intended to today so I just took a flashlight outside and found evidence that at least one of the buds already opened or is about to. I've got it on my list to check it in daylight tomorrow.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-58601507435403934522016-04-11T18:05:58.797-07:002016-04-11T18:05:58.797-07:00Just beautiful!
