Wear your mask!

Good morning.
About time I did a post! Of course, with a stay at home order, there isn't a lot to talk about.
But here is a pic along Aliante Blvd I took while walking one morning.

Certainly doesn't look like desert, huh. I've been amazed at all the grass and trees, and bushes and plants they plant all over. But the water authority seems to think it's all okay. Our water usage is actually lower now,  than it was 15 years ago, and our population has grown considerably. That's due to all the conservation efforts they put into place years ago.
Here's the latest puzzle.....

And I saw this huge cactus flower the other morning....

And this morning, I blew out the front yard.....

We have two trees in the front. One on each side of the driveway. They are both evergreen, but one loses some leaves in the fall, and the other in the spring. So two to three times a year, I have to 'clean up' the front and the back. I bagged these up and they'll go in the bulk trash pickup next Tuesday.
We got some new masks I ordered online and they are much more comfortable than the ones I made.
We also went to the nursery and got some summer flowers for our two pots in the back yard, and a new bush to replace one that just isn't doing good in the spot I had it. Got them planted yesterday. Will try to remember to take a couple of pics.
They've started to open some restaurants, nail and hair Salons, and more retails stores. All with social distancing and with sanitizing protocols. Looks like they may open some casino's in early June. I hope people follow the rules and wear their masks. That's the only way we'll be able to keep this virus at bay until a vaccine is ready.
Stay home, and stay safe!
