Another warm spring day yesterday -- when I think back to the weather in March in Minnesota, it makes me appreciate living in the Sacramento neighborhood of Land Park 10 times over. Do you know that in Minnesota, March is generally the snowiest month? Seems to me that January gets more snow, but the natives will swear it is March.
When I showed property last Saturday, it was drizzling when we started out. We had driven no more than 2 miles when a torrential rainstorm happened. By the time we reached our destination, it had let up and the sun was shining. Although, I still got a wet head from a dripping gutter. Why do agents put the lockboxes directly under the gutter?
Here are photos from my yard. You might say, "Whoa, what's the cacti doing in there?" But cacti form spring flowers, too. Look closely.
See, I don't have to walk down to William Land Park, either. But if you want to see more flowers, you can tour the Land Park neighborhood tomorrow, go to open houses and catch the spring action. If you're driving around Land Park, stop at my listing at 2738 San Luis Court (Vallejo west to San Luis, turn right). It's a great deal at an affordable price.

Elizabeth, What a treat for me to see those flowers. Things are just barely on the verge on blooming here in Cleveland, but what is amazing for us is that we have not had any snow at all in the month of March...of course I remember a huge ice storm a few years ago on April 22nd so we're not out of the woods yet.
Gorgeous, I could use some color in my yard right now and can't wait!
Very cool flower shots. My yard isn't quite so riotous.....
Beautiful floral pictures. One of my favorite memories is around my 30th birthday when my husband took me up the river to show me the cactus in bloom. They were absolutely gorgeous.
Eliabeth
What a welcome sight; it is going to snow 6-9 inches tonight here. Soon.
Sincerely
Tom Braatz
Elizabeth: Beautiful shots of your garden. My crocuses are just starting to come up. They were supposed to be mixed colors, but all I'm seeing is yellow. Maybe the yellow are just the early bloomers. Who knows.
Liz, you're hurt my eyes with all that glitter in Land Park.....lovely flowers!
Elizabeth: Creative Blog with awsome pictures. Have fun this spring. I am still waiting for the rain to stop in this area. Tere
Elizabeth, beautiful photographs...and gorgeous flowers. Yes, cacti do have flowers, and many are blooming right now in Arizona. ;-)
Great flower shots. I sometimes wonder why I live in Michigan. Then Spring comes and I remember.
Thanks, everybody. I simply couldn't resist including these photos today. Sometimes I look outside and say to myself, "grab the camera."
Elizabeth,
Boy, what gorgeous photos you take. Vibrant colors, the only thing that's missing is the fragrance (LOL).
Very good photos.
Gorgeous...just when the tulips and crocuses were coming out of the ground....we are being hit with what could be 11" of white blanket...but I am betting if the poor little almost buds haven't frozen, we may see them again if we get the 40's we are promised later in the week...I know how much you must miss Minnesota...they are hoping for summer on a weekend this year !
Hi Elizabeth! These are spectacular photos! I love all the colors...so much more inviting that just plain WHITE!!! Thanks for this - they a gorgeous!
Elizabeth - These are some beautiful flowers!
