Can you see the gold of the aspen below the snow line?

Zoomed in to see the aspen a little better.

Ribes aureum, our native currant. Why don’t you have this in your landscape? Flowers in spring and a month of fall color! And drought tolerant to the max.

We still haven’t had a hard freeze here yet, although our neighbors just a couple miles away have. We did get rain this week, and, more importantly, we have snow on the mountain.  After a decade of drought, I don’t take that for granted.
