Puttering in the back yard.

I re planted my little herb garden I have just out side the kitchen today. The chive is from last year, just the cilantro and basil are newbies. While I was out there I looked up and saw this Camellia and Wisteria combo...had to go get the camera.

the colors were so pretty together.

a little flower lantern....

purple snow

then the California Poppies  buy the Koi pond caught my eye...ok blinded me they are so bright in the sun. 

 I watched the koi, for a while, a long, while.  

I also learned how to set and, reset, a rat trap....I needed the koi therapy.
