ClearingOnce past the hedgerow at the street, there is an almost meadow-like clearing at the middle of the lot

Row of BushesThese large bushes are on the edge of the clearing in the middle of the lot. As well as cedars there are several holly bushes with red berries on them even as late as May.

Prickly Pear and ThistlesWhile they obviously represent clearing work ahead, I can't help appreciating the aesthetics these wild things add to our property. Cacti, thistles, junipers or cedars all have a place in the general scheme of things. The trick will be making sure they stay in their places and don't take over.
