Yuma December 2019

I had a fantastic time seeing mom and dad and everyone in Yuma!  It was excellent getting to go from the snow in MN to the sun in AZ.

Mom and dad's yard is beautiful. They have so many fruit trees and lovely plants growing. I started taking pictures in the backyard and didn't make it to the full front yard, so I am missing pictures of their pecan trees, mulberry, and some other plants.  But here are some pictures from their beautiful yard in December in AZ!

The backyard

Grapefruit tree

Orange tree

Fig tree and chili plant

Tangerine tree

Some more grapefruit and orange trees

Grapefruit are my favorite!!  Dad also has a big container of grapefruit juice he juices for me when I get to Yuma. I love it and love my parents. 💕

The back chicken and duck pens with my parents' sunflower patch on the right.  The sunflowers are dead now for the winter but they reseed and will come back up next spring. My mom told me how they make a home for so many tiny birds that live in the sunflowers and eat the seeds.

There are a few sunflowers remaining.

The sunflower patch in winter.  My dad was going to cut them all down, but saw that there were still birds in here eating some remaining seeds. So he decided to give it some more time.
