Fruit and flowers!

We have been loving our new yard.  It's like a little garden of Eden in the desert.  Lydia loves to pick the low-hanging fruit and have a little snack while she's back there.



She even needed to bring a plum in to her bath!




James and Henry also love to eat the fruit right off the tree--they especially love the apples.





Alex doesn't care too much for most of the fruit but he is a great helper at picking it!



The plums are just beautiful!



The apricots are all gone now...



But the boys made some freezer jam so we can enjoy them for a little while longer!



We are looking forward to our peaches, pears, pomegranates, and almonds ripening!


Not only have we enjoyed our fruit but I love our roses out front.

I've always loved yellow roses.



And I think these are the boys' favorite.



And I've always loved these purplish roses too... my mom had some when I was in high school.

Sick boys + me being sick for a day + a busy weekend = LOADS of laundry.  It looks like the laundry exploded all over my room.  I am grateful that Rich washed much of it while I was sick and that I have a show to catch up on while I fold it all.
