plumbago & shamrocks

Our Cape Plumbago is blooming,

and I didn't even know it till today.

Does that give you any indication as to how busy I've been?

We've been preparing for a yard sale that we had Saturday,
along with making room in our side-yard for our Cozy Cottage in Wheels.
And we're determined to get one of our vehicles parked in our garage.
That's no easy feat when you consider we don't have basements in Phoenix.
Our garages really do function as a major source of storage.

.

Anyway, needless to say, we haven't stopped long enough to take in the beauty of our backyard.

Until today.

This is also the time of year that our Shamrock's start blooming.

Not sure if you've ever described flowers as adorable.

But these really are adorable.

I don't edit or photoshop my photos,

so you can imagine my delight when I saw these images.

Late afternoon really is the best time to shoot.

Thanks for visiting my little backyard abode.

I am linking to Cindy's SHOW AND TELL FRIDAY,
