Our garden is not symmetrical, ordered, or precise. Kings of France would look askance. No manicured lawn, no topiaries, no annuals. We have low mow grass where kids can run and as many native wildflowers as I can take care of, and then some.
Currently the bumblebees and honey bees are feeding on Culver’s root, pinks, and clover. The monarchs are drinking the milkweed and phlox nectar. Our little pollinator garden is where I ground myself. No more calming work outdoors than that which breaks a sweat.
Where is your escape?

Hee hee. Buzz is one of my favorite words of onomatopoeia. It’s just as fun in Spanish, especially Castilian Spanish: zumbido (thum-bee-do).

I grow a wide selection of succulents that grow well in Southern California’s drought-plagued region. As a neighbor once told me: “Succulents are very forgiving.”

I have four types of cactus plants: Christmas, Eve’s Needle, Golden Barrel, and Royal Red. The Christmas cactus is the only one that has bloomed so far. I shared a photo in my blog post “On giving this Christmas,” posted on December 8, 2019.

Beautiful! Thanks for the link to the photo. So wonderful to grow cactus outdoors, perfect for your climate, ours only survives indoors (barely).

Bees scare me but they do so much important work, they do also fascinate me! xo

I’ve read that loud noises scare bees, so I’m quiet around them. They’re too busy with their work to pat attention to me.
