My Morning Stroll
Most mornings, I take a moment to appreciate the beauty around me. As I sip my hot tea, I stroll through the gardens and soak in the vibrant colors of nature – from the lively songs of Yellow Goldfinches at the feeder to the coo of Mourning Doves and the shrill of the male Gambel’s Quail calling for his mate.
As I strolled through the garden, I couldn’t help but notice the beauty of the newly blossomed flowers. The roses, in full bloom or the tightly closed rosebuds, are such a sight to behold.
Even the hedgehog cactus, with its thorns, is showing off its delicate petals. It’s heartwarming to witness nature’s splendor in all its glory.
Flower Therapy
I understand that spending time in the garden is a beautiful way to soothe our minds. As I have mentioned before, it is indeed a therapeutic experience that brings immense joy and peace to my being.
“I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.” ~David Hobson
Flowers in our Decor
I love to bring flowers into our home. They have the power to bring a sense of joy and vibrancy to any room. Adding them to a space can really enhance its appearance and bring in a touch of elegance.
Desert Wildflowers
The arrival of spring in our Desert Gardens, as well as the Desert Landscape, brings us pleasure. I hope that viewing the beauty of nature and our desert flowers helps to uplift your spirits and inspire you.
Thank You
As I always try to convey… we sure do appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
We are wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.

Your garden is beautiful along with stunning interior decorations. I love the purple and green color combo. When you are back east in the summer do you have someone that tends your garden for you?
Thanks for enjoying, Judy.
Our oasis is mostly made up of cacti along with lantana, bougainvillea, and roses. Hardy plants. We have a house sitter that stays and watches over… including our gardens as well.
Thanks for enjoying our Spring in the desert!
Beautiful spring flowers and birds. Your arrangements and center pieces are lovely.
Thank you Tim!
I am glad you like them. Safe travels back home!
Nancy, it is pouring rain this morning and a walk in your garden is sheer delight! The yellow roses are stunning. I have never had success growing roses, but I will enjoy seeing yours! The cacti blooms always amaze me. Of course, I love seeing your beautiful home decorated for the seasons. I have enjoyed having my morning coffee as I walked in your garden and was invited in your lovely home. Happy Tuesday, my friend!
I am so delighted that you walked along side of me this morning. This is the best time of year to do so.
Thanks so much for enjoying our gardens. Enjoy your Tuesday!
Your morning strolls and hot tea – I love all of that and I’m giving you a smile and a hot tea “cheers” back to you! 🥰

Happy Tuesday, my friend! I’m strolling along with with my coffee mug in hand gawking at your beautiful pics! Amazing to see the cactus flowers in your garden, as well as the desert wildflowers. I just love the image of the lupine and poppies together. Therapy indeed. Another season where the desert got abundant rain. Your home decor is always so beautiful to see. Wow, that tea cart! ❤️😲 I’m so glad to see your post. Here in Portland, we have tickets to visit the Wooden Shoe Tulip farm tomorrow. Flowers are therapy!
Oh, Tulips are one of my favorites! I know you are going to have a wonderful time! Enjoy!

Uplifting indeed, Nancy. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you Ruth. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Now that is one beautiful way to start your day dancing through all these beautiful blooms that are catching your eye – simply stunning!
Thank you, Mary. I love flowers, and I enjoy having them here in our gardens.
Have a beautiful rest of the week.
The flowers, both inside and outside your garden area are stunning!
I am so glad you enjoyed them. Smiles all around!
Thank you for stopping in. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Nancy, even though I am a day late in visiting your garden with you…I so enjoyed the belated visit. God is amazing in His creations isn’t He? The birds and flowers just made my day. Your home is a reflection of you and so lovely. Thank you for all the reminders of my high mountain desert gardens I left behind in New Mexico. I felt I was right back there among the blooming cacti. Hugs my friend
Oh, Kari, you made my day. I am so glad you enjoyed our gardens today and that they brought you sweet memories.
Thank you for such a lovely comment.
Enjoy the rest of the week, my friend.
Love it when the desert is in bloom 🙂
Me too! 😊
Nature’s splendor, indeed. I think what I love so much about the natural Arizona is with every season there is a flower, some kind of flower. It is such a delicate and fragile environment and it continues to amaze me over and over again. Beautiful photos, Nancy.
You are so right! I agree with you about our wondrous desert.
Thank you for enjoying my photos!
Enjoy your weekend!
You too, Nancy.
Your flowers look fabulous, Miss Nancy – both inside your house and outside in your garden. I’ve missed the summer flowers in my garden, due to all the rain we’ve had, those I’d planted drowned 🥲 but the ground is now starting to dry out (a little) and now I can plant to plant some for the coming cooler weather.
Thank you, Clare.
I am so sorry to hear your flowers drowned. Gardening is not for the Faint of Heart.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Happy Planting.
It’s been a very weird summer with little colour to brighten the garden, but . . . there’s a change in the air 🥰
🥰🥰🥰
It’s lovely to enjoy your flowers 💐
So much can be appreciated in stroll mode, Nance!
You are so right, Mr. Mark!
Thanks for sharing all of this floral beauty!! Plants and gardens with them have always brought me peace and joy!! Again, thank you for sharing!
It was my pleasure. Thank you for enjoying!
