. . . encroachment . . .

. . . it's like arizona's version
of kudzu . . .
. . . geraniums
are taking over . . .




. . . creeping over walkways . . .
. . . inching closer and closer to doors . . .



. . . between overflowing flower beds,
the scent of citrus blossoms
wafting through the air,
and perfect 80 degree weather ~
this is a lovely time of year . . .



. . . and i can hardly bring myself
to get out the pruning shears . . .

Don't prune! I have some ivy that crosses our front steps. I hate cutting it because it is so pretty. I wouldn't want the heat you have but I'd sure love those red geraniums right now.

WOW I have never seen geraniums grow like that and I live in Louisiana. They are beautiful!

Leave them! They're too amazing to be pruned! I can't help but smile every time I pull up to your house.
