First too hot and then too cold

It was 97 degrees Fahrenheit 2 weeks ago.  Unheard of for this high desert area.

And then the temperatures plunged to 27 degrees.

I knew that my 20 year old geraniums would not make it.  For three days they filled several rooms in the house.  

Outside I covered every tender plant and seedling with whatever I could find. 

Those round shapes are wire cages which I had just removed from my tender young trees.  Trees have to be protected from deer who nibble on the bark in winter and eventually kill the tree. 

Finally, plants and furniture could be moved outside.

When  daisies begin to bloom, it is the sign that Spring has finally arrived.

Daisies will spread like wildfire which is fine with me.

Shady areas are now welcome.

Little Goslings are growing up. 

And so is Sadie. 

Wishing you a save and happy week,
