A small home of my own with diversity to make my heart happy

Two years ago, I finally put down roots and bought a house to retire without a never ending rent payment. A sixth of an acre. There were mature pomegranates, mulberries, oleander, and a dying tree that might have been an almond. The yard has been a slow process. the Oleanders removed to be replaced by native vegetation. The mulberries and pomegranates pruned.
2021 has been so dry but I have been able to keep the newly planted Chinese elm, blue oak, brown turkey fig, autumn sage, and desert willows alive. This fall I'll plant native shrubs and seed the yard with native wildflowers in the never ending hopes of winter rains.
The diversity of this yard is pretty amazing for a small suburban lot in a rural area. Tennessee and Virginia Warblers are quite rare and they were my 99th and 100th bird species respectively.
