blooming...

blooming..., a photo by credd on Flickr.

last week...
i started noticing the trees in bloom.
as i passed them...
i'd tell myself that i wanted to get a photo.

this morning...
i went out into my backyard...
and saw the blooms on my neighbor's tree...
so went back inside to get my camera.

i'm not sure when these trees usually bloom...
but it's not usually this early.

if you haven't heard...
we're in the midst of a drought in california.
we've only had rain two or three times since october...
and they weren't very substantial.

we visited a wildlife preserve a few weeks ago...
and i could see the effects of the lack of rain.
the fields were drier...
and the wildlife was scarce.

we're having relatively pleasant weather now...
with temps in the 60s.
i hope that when the rains do finally arrive...
the ground will be able to absorb it...
and there won't be flooding.

this is from last weekend.
we had the little one from thurs-sun.

we had just taken down the tree...
and were putting all of the decorations away.
when ms mj saw the party horn...
she started sweeping the rug with it.

on her right arm...
a santa purse that i got at aaron bros a few years ago.
i use it to hold candy canes.

she is all smiles as she 'pretend cleans'.
i want to see what she does when it's an assigned 'chore'.
