The coral rose is blooming, as is the fiesta rose bush, but they don't "hold a candle" to this wondrous red plant! The two different lavender bushes are happy, my succulents are happy. The little yellow tearose bush has decided to not do much this year, although I am still encouraging her.

I am concerned the county has not come out yet to create defensible land space in the lots they took over in January. Guess I will give them a call and leave a message for the land manager...

This morning I saw a mated pair of eagles floating over the valley, catching wind currents. We have a lot of turkey vultures around, so it takes a while to understand the different flight patterns and wing formation.
