Thursday Stroll in Capitola, CA

Hi friends! We're going strolling today. Not in our garden, which is still pretty much in Winter-mode, but in our little town of Capitola, CA. 

Mom! No kisses now, we are trying to stroll here!


We had about two weeks of very warm weather, and as a result, the plum trees are starting to bloom!





These old fashioned roses are blooming just down the street from our house. 




We have no idea what this is, it looks like some kind of hyacinth. Very pretty! (Do you know what this plant is?)





Here's our beautiful state flower, the California Poppy. We love these. They are everywhere here, they grow like weeds. 






This is the Capitola Wharf, a few blocks from our house. You can see the high clouds starting to form. Rain came in this week and we had an inch of rain in our gauge this morning. We need it!






We hope you enjoyed today's stroll. Don't forget to drop by Jonesie's blog to see what the other Feline Gardeners are up to today. 


Have a furtastic Thursday. Mom, you can start smooching on me now!   xoxo, Busby
