and so it begins...

After the rains the sky was so clear I could see the Sutter buttes, heavy fog in the valley and fresh snow on the distant mountain range at least 50 miles away.







Now is the time for some serious garden work, pruning the roses, a major winter task


starting with the climbers, the before shot


and after



before

before


after...





5' high rose bushes were cut low and striped. 


yule tide camelia is happily blooming


red colors still dominate the backyard with berries and foliage





persimmons cling high in the tree
