Had breakfast here this morning with my wife and dad. I like the old sign featuring a sombrero and just noticed that old computer style font used to spell "EAT HERE - TAKE OUT". #VintageSign #Font #Sombrero #MexicanFood #Neon #VintageNeon (at Tina's Mexican Restaurant)

Happy Earth Day! Everyday is "Earth Day" for us designing, creating, maintaining landscapes. 'Making the world a better place, one garden at a time.' "People create success in their lives by focusing on today. It may sound trite, but today is the only time you have. It’s too late for yesterday. And you can’t depend on tomorrow. That’s why today matters. Most of the time we miss that." #SucculentDesigns #PlantsAsALifeStyle #EarthDay #EarthDay2018 #StayFocused

My view as I left home for work this morning. One of my favorite trees, Palo Verde 'Desert Museum' a gift from our friend Peter Sellars, I love that it thrives in our landscape providing shade, flowers and attractive architectural shape to our landscape. It's a beautiful day!!! #SucculentDesigns #PlantsAsALifestyle #LoveAndHappiness #PaloVerde #DesertMuseum #DroughtTolerant (at Arcadia, California)

#Maintenance Day: We #designed and #installed this garden about two years ago and it has only needed #trimming twice and occasional #weeding in that time. First photo is the finished garden after trimming, weeding, cleaning and a pre-emergent weed #treatment, the weed treatment #prevents to a degree #weed #seeds germination for several months making it possible to better control weeds as time goes on. Meaning #clients get to enjoy their garden more often instead of weeding. Second photo is before we trimmed, cleaned and weeded. This garden has #grown #successfully on #Rainbird #DripIrrigation in concert with the before mentioned maintenance materials and practices. #SucculentDesigns #PlantsAsALifestyle #WeedPreemergent #DroughtTolerant #Colorful #Garden #HappyLandscape (at East Los Angeles, California)

The image is the 'Man In The Maze' from the Tohono Odham people, a symbol about your choices in life ultimately the center is enlightenment. It seemed a fitting image to pair with the story below. An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life: “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. ”It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil–he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” (at Pasadena, California)

Relaxing, enjoying 'Long Haired Country Boy' on the 'Fire On The Mountain' album by The Charlie Daniels Band after a very long day at work and a busy week. Feels good to be working though. I absolutely dig the album artwork!!! I just picked up this album at an antique mart in Oceanside over the weekend for $5.00. What a bargain! Great music! #CharlieDanielsBand #LongHairedCountryBoy #FireOnTheMountain #WonderGraphics #AlbumArt #LP #Vinyl #RecordCollection #GoodMusic (at Montebello, California)

What a beautiful day! I'm thankful to be well and healthy enough to create and install this beautiful garden this week, it is not without it's stresses, but I'm doing what I love and what I'm good at and I get to share that with my family, friends and the world. We love that our gardens can bring a smile to the faces of passersby and that we have clients that trust us in our vision to create a space that they too can enjoy. I'm also thankful for all the help and support we get from friends and family, I couldn't do this alone. @jaredhayward8603 @danielleromero55 thank you all. Enjoy this beautiful day wherever you are and whatever you are doing. #SucculentDesigns #PlantsAsALifeStyle #Landscaping #landscapingwithsucculents #HighDesign #ColorfulGarden #CityofMontebello #RainBirdIrrigation #SanGabrielValley (at Montebello, California)
