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.

Variety of VegetationThis land used to be part of a ranch, as was most of the land around here. There are many kinds of bushes, wild flowers, and cacti as well as limestone (LOTS of limestone) and those big oak trees.

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.
