Spring is definitely on the way. It was a gorgeous sunny day today with temperatures around 65F. And these little beauties are blooming. Hopefully Winter will not have any surprises for us.

I was standing high up by the monolith and looked down into the quarry. I noticed this clump of daisies all by itself, surrounded by a mass of bare rock. It was too far away to take a decent picture, so I walked down to get a closer view.

The bug on this flower, was the cherry on the cake.

I’ve posted about this garden before: See “A Wild and Crazy Garden”. I passed it again the other day and once again was blown away. I really think we should get rid of our lawns, with all of the maintenance, the ecxessive watering, noisy leaf blowers, mowers, trimmers etc. and just replace them with masses of beautiful colorful flowers.
