I'm wondering if they actually will this year!

It Has Begun
I can’t get pics, because they’re up way too high in the trees, but the pair of scrub jays who are my landlords have begun taking their shrieking fledglings out into the world. My house is built on their training ground. I’m ready for the call. Cats? MOVE ALONG. Plentiful water sources? READY. Guard chickens & geese to watch for hawks? DONE. Grapes? DEVELOPING.

If you have not met, let me introduce you to the chocolate flower (also known as chocolate diasy or berlandiera lyrata). It is one of my new favorite flowers. It is a native wildflower to the southwest part of the United States. Great for xeriscape (a style of landscape design requiring little or no irrigation or other maintenance, used in arid regions). AND the flower exudes a rich chocolate aroma in the morning hours.
