And the Saga Continues

Like I said, that was just the beginning. lolI am like a kid in a candy store when walking around the garden section at Home Depot and Walmart. I don't know where this sudden urge to garden came from, but I'll enjoy it while it's here. I'm sure D thinks I'm crazy, but I know he enjoys seeing all the color around the place.

I recently got a great review at work with a pay raise and celebrated by buying MORE plants!

This is the little wire fence that I put up to keep Paige out of this area. It used to be dirt, but then had to add the rocks to it to help keep her out. When that didn't work, I got the fence.

The little tiny green growth in the center is the cala lily that I am nursing back to health after Paige dug it to shreds. It's coming back though!!! I love cala lily's. They remind me of California. We used to have a row of them in the back of the pink house that took care of themselves. We reaped the benefits and decorated our house inexpensively. Being poor and all, you had to look for cheap ways to decorate.

I must be going through a purple phase right now, because I have at least three larger purple flowering plants.


This is D's grape vine and to the left is his peach tree. I think we are actually going to get some peaches this year if we beat the birds to it!

The weather has cooled off and if feels like California again. I'm going to embrace it before the deadly heat is back. Well, time to get my hands dirty...

I am proud of you Nichole. You always had the knack of turning every thing you touch into art.
