3 Young Bucks

The other day, early in the morning I was out watering the yard and I saw 3 beautiful young bucks walking down the street. I was hoping to get some nice close-up shots of them to blog but when one of them spotted me they stopped dead in their tracks.

Apparently my presence wasn’t enough to stop them from walking over to check out whether or not my yard had anything they might find edible.

Luckily for me, they don’t like bougainvilleas!

I guess you’ll have to take my word for it when I say there were 3 bucks since I only captured 2 of them in my photos!

A Small View of my Garden

Cone flowers, French Lavendar, Butterfly Tree, & Sage.

Newly planted Cone Flowers.

I like to plant vegetables & herbs anywhere I can find room... here you can see some Swiss Chard & Basil.

Saturday I spent time planting and cleaning up this planter and the planter on the opposite side of it which has 2 huge Mexican Sage plants & a Rosemary bush. (I'll post pictures of them another time when they're in bloom.) It was a beautiful day, a little warm but tolerable.

Eventually I hope to have a completely drought tolerant garden. This area is just the start... it's filled with French Lavendar, Yarrow, Cone Flowers & a couple of other plants I can't remember the names of but are also drought tolerant.
