We’ve now lived in our new house almost six weeks. Due to hot weather and persistent rain, we haven’t been able to do much with our blank slate of a yard. The wilderness has decided that it needs to reclaim the whole thing. Each morning, I go out and do battle with it.
I don’t know what these weeds will become. Probably they will grow ten feet high and have obnoxious allergy-laden flowers.
This is a mesquite tree. I have about 5000 of these coming up. They send down a taproot that is impossible to dig out, so I’m chopping them as fast as I can. I already have multiple mesquites that I’m grooming to be shade trees, and I don’t need 5000 more.
Our wilderness yard has no end of things to look at and blog about. Look forward to plenty more updates as we try to tame the wilds of Arizona.

I enjoy seeing all of the flora and fauna of your yard. Everything is so interesting. I like seeing the baby in a mud puddle. I bet she is having the time of her life too.
