Just another day

Some of you may know that we have been getting ready for

planting and this week has been....lots of cleaning, getting things seeded and little plugs

put into their little pots........and sometimes big pots:))

The weather here feels more like Spring then Winter.

But I've seen this before. Unseasonably warm as

the weather men like to call it.

The plants do seem to love the extra sun that isn't always

in plenty every Winter when they are put into

hyper grow time.

Sometimes it can feel like watching water boil.

"Do you see anything growing???"

" No, not really"

Then suddenly that plant will explode into bloom

before you realize the time has passed.

The days now are spent mostly in the greenhouses.

and with our cats. They seem to migrate to the houses with us more.

Where we are.... they are.

They are very social creatures.

But it's why we love them!

When we take a break then they take a break!

Well......

They're more on perma-break .

Oh... btw that's Shaggy.

I think this is his first appearance.

He's our big tuxedo kitty.

No, this isn't a ghost or some strange possessed animal

lurking underneath the benches.

It's just Charlotte.
Ok enough cat pictures....

but you have to admit it's been a long

time since I've shown my cats....my kids:)) I've been really good!

I've been resisting the urge

to not show their sweet adorable furry faces.

in every post...:))

Now, what I really wanted to talk about is what I saw this afternoon.

When I was heading out to run an errand

I came to close down the houses and check the temperature settings.

I looked and saw this.

Which doesn't look like much but when you

realize that I've been waiting 3 years to see even THAT!

I was excited!!!!!!

I know, it doesn't take much.

Then I saw THIS hidding behind that above....

you probably recognize it I'm sure.

A Bird of Paradise.

I called George immediately to tell him.

He was not as thrilled.

He just wanted to know if I was on my way to where I

was supposed to be.....

"Yes, I'm going!!!!"

When I came back and went right to see it again. I hadn't had time

to really get a good look yet.

By that point George was back too and I said "have you seen it ?"

"Oh" he goes....."that's been blooming since Christmas".

"WHAT

and you didn't tell me????"

What can I say.....

I had to wait 3yrs to see it and I could have seen it

2 months ago but I was

Content now.

I told you

I doesn't take much!!!
