Sheesh, Jim, gets better each week.
Great photography, especially on the Waggie.
The Washy's my fav.
The new "branches" on that cactus are sooooo cool.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Jim your palms and plants are getting huge! What are you using for fertilizer!

I think the heat and the sun plus water are the best fertilizer ever...
Jim your palms look so healthy! What's happened to the Abyssinian banana? Haven't been seeing it for a while... Agave and yucca plants as well as the rest of the succulents are the eye catching!
By the way my Basijo leaves crashed after a heavy snow fall last night while were not damage after minus 2C.
