Been a while since I've been on this forum.. sorry, I've been pulling weeds
That's Gromit behind the gate. He's trying to learn not to go past the gate. The gold tree on the right is a Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia').
The rock wall just inside the gate has Cobweb Houseleek (Sempervivum arachnoidium), and a few other Sempervivums scattered about.
We've had two winters in a row now with rain (after several years of drought), and a few more inches over the past week, so the plants (and weeds!) are really happy.. This is from the back door out to the driveway.
I like trees... what can I say? I'd probably have to recount, but in the 20+ years I"ve been here, I've planted over 75. I can see 9 in this picture...
Bailey likes being in pictures.. or at least I assume so, because he's in so many of them.
I have things in pots... Lots of things.. this is a small fraction.. I have a friend who believes I need Bromeliads and gives me pups. I don't discourage this behavior in him.
This used to be a horse corral.. I briefly considered getting a horse when I moved here. Better sense prevailed, for once in my life.
If Spring lasted forever, would it be as glorious?
Very nice gardens 
For such little creatures, they fill such a big place in our hearts. Bailey is 15 and slowing down with aches and pains and a collapsing trachea. We got Gromit last summer from a rescue organization.. We haven't done his DNA, but we're guessing he's a Schnoodle. Very different personality from the poodles of my past and present.
