Sun... Finally

Originally uploaded by Lucky.Star Photography

I was finally able to take some pictures this weekend. The monsoon lifted. The little purple flowers were supposed to be "Johnny Jump Ups". They don't have the yellow in them, so I wonder if I got the wrong seeds in the pack? I used my awesome planting skills last year... I walked out to the middle of the yard and threw around a bunch of seeds. Now, my whole side yard has beautiful patches of these little non-Johnny Jump Ups. I worked on the compost pile some and cleaned/raked leaves from the fence. I found a snake and quit. I was scared so much that I was shaking, but I couldn't yell. It was probably a garden snake. I've heard that only bad snakes will "strike" at you and this one jumped out at my rake. To me, the only good snake is a DEAD one. I still need to add flowers to my flower beds and plant my garden.
