Moving kills my desire to blog. I need to stop it. :-)

I have been gardening, however. There are quite a few new plants in the Mesa, AZ garden. One of my goals since moving in is to create more privacy and a sound buffer since we back to a fairly busy street. The road noise drove me crazy at first but it has lessened since everything leafed out. The sad casualties of a house left vacant for so long is that it stresses and kills the landscape. In this case, two fairly large citrus trees that provided both a buffer and shade. I have replacements now but, man! Are they small! I keep reminding myself to be patient–they will grow.
