Lookin' a little bit like summer!

Today's high was in the 80's and tomorrows forecast is the same!  Yay!

We have the pool cleaned and ready to go, Little Man's basketball hoop for the pool is up and ready and his inflatable turtle is inflated and parked on our patio table.  This guy is huge!   

Flower pots are filled with lemon grass, mint and marigolds which are supposed to repel mosquitoes.  (Insert doubtful face here.)  But we do have something that burns citronella oil as a backup.  And I've heard that pinon smoke keeps them away as well so we may need to fire up the chiminea too.

Big thanks to my friend Cincy who traded me some clay pots and mint plants she had for some things I was letting go.  Gracias!

Plants are sprouting and blooming.  A lot of which I don't know the names of but I don't "think" they're weeds so I haven't pulled them.

The butterflies and bees are out in abundance.  

The bunnies had babies under the deck in our side yard.  So cute to see them hanging out in the backyard in the evening but they make Henry lose his mind! :D  I had to have another talk with him.  Bunnies are friends not food.  Yeh...he just looks at me like I've lost my mind! :D

And the lizards are making a comeback!  I was worried about them because we completely cleaned out all the overgrowth in the backyard to start over with new landscape.  Thought we destroyed their habitat and ran them off.  But they're back and giving me the "stink eye" for taking their picture. :)

Looking forward to spending a lot of time in our backyard this summer!
