This is why I moved here. It's not for the work, though that's great. And it's not for our awesome art scene, that's great too. Nope it's for Red Rock Canyon, my back yard. Since the first time I laid eyes on this wonderland of sandstone in 1992 I knew that some day I would live next to this place. Now it's 45 minutes from my home to this scene. And if you walk a bit and know where to go, you can virtually have the whole place to yourself. This is up near the Calico Tanks in a snowstorm.

I'm a little early in taking garden pictures but I'm excited about some of the 1st blooms of season. Take a look.This is the first time I've been successfu

Arisaema triphyllum I know this plant as Jack-in-the-pulpit but it's also known as Bog onion, Brown dragon, Indian turnip, American wake robin, or Wild turnip. The plant is a herbaceous and perennial. It grows from a corm. Supposedly it is a highly variable species typically growing from 30 to 65 cm in height. The ones in my back yard are about 12 in. or 30 cm. Each stem has three leaves but do not confuse Jack with Poison Ivy. The 'pulpit,' or spathe, of my specimens are green, with white stripes, but the stripes could also be brown or purple in specimens elsewhere. The 'minister,' or spadix, is a pale creamy-green spike inside. It's native to eastern North American moist woodlands as far north as Nova Scotia, west to Minnesota, and south to southern Florida. WARNING:Jack-in-the-pulpits contains needle shaped crystals of calcium oxalate called raphides in all of its parts. Ingesting even tiny amounts of this chemical by eating the plant can deliver a vigorous burning sensation, irritating the mouth and digestive system. If swelling of the mouth and throat is severe enough, breathing could be affected. Calcium oxalate, in small doses will cause intense discomfort but it is usually short lived complete recovery is the norm. In larger doses, however, it can cause severe digestive upset, convulsions, coma, and even death. Recovery may leave behind permanent liver and kidney damage. The crystals are known to form stones in the kidney and you'll wish you were dead as you pass them. I'm sure the effect of this plant on animals and pets would be similar to that of humans, however, my dogs give this plant a wide berth and to my knowledge have never been affected by it. My squirrels are content to feast on my daffodil bulbs and leave Jack's corms alone. The specimen I've pictured is a female. She will be about the business of making a clump of bright red berries that the native Americans called a “fire ball!” Not sure if the name comes from their fire engine red color or the burn they deliver when you eat them? I'll try to get a picture of a "fireball" later in the season. If the plant is properly dried or cooked it 'can' be eaten as a root vegetable. The internet is filled with goofy recipes that I have never tried, and am unlikely to ever do so.

Welcome, NIMBYs. Let's take a closer look at the arguments you have opposing development that will support homeless people.

I first posted this picture as a eastern european hedgehog, i was wrong! :) I found this little guy walking on the main road of my town, picked it up, gave it some food and water for the road and set it free in my yard, far from the main road where he would've become one with the asphalt for sure.

After one too many

With COVID-19 cases spiking, it seems riskier than ever to travel. My back yard beckons -- but our rickety garden stairs pose risks of their own.

Did you think I was never gonna post any after pictures?  Aw, I wouldn't do that.  It's just been so cruddy out all week.  Today it's 80-so...
