Merry Christmas! God bless!
The first few pics other then the guard dog are from a couple of days ago. A skiff of snow and everything looking good, ground has been frozen, but I have been able to pick a few rocks from the surface for hardscaping the dry creek with.
The very next day and all my landscaping comes to a screeching halt! 3-4 inches of snow changes everything, and I am having a hard time not blurting out how badly winter sucks! There I said it! I was trying hard not to say that this year, this year was going to be different. Ha!

Plants Doing good after a lite snow dusting.
Agave utahensis var. kaibabensis

This a close up of my biggest Yucca elata, look how hairy this one is.
A small Yucca brevifolia, I never got around to cover it.
The next day!
Yucca faxon
Yucca baccata
Third snow of the year.
I love to see the desert with snow! Very pretty pics! Merry Christmas! :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI love the snow, as long as it melts fast. lol
I have to snow plow at nights.
Beautiful! Best you wishes to you and your family on this day! Like us, you are also in for a very exciting 2013!
ReplyDeleteYes Sir, we are in for a great 2013!
DeleteThat looks like a nice blanket of snow, hopefully just enough moisture to help and not too much to hurt. That Yucca elata with all those filaments is amazing - those remind me of a fine bird's nest when they get like that! Rain, then rain/snow, went all around us last night - again.
ReplyDeleteThanks David,
DeleteI noticed you also getting a little weather down there as well.
