Great Day With The Girls

Really had a nice day with my daughters today. We cleaned for their grandmother's visit but for some reason, it didn't feel like the old tired chore it's usually like!

Days such as today will be memories I will always cherish. Thank ladies!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Jim

I feel like I just lost you yesterday and not 8 years ago. (You so easily and readily slipped into my father's role when your brother died... and have left an equally painful void in my heart, when you too died.)

More Pictures of the Air Plant's Flower

Really lasting longer than I thought the flower would. Have been taking pics nearly every day but the flower has only grown a little longer and not much different looking.

I love the purple next to the hot pink. If you look closely, you can see orange on the white. Nature really knows her palette of colors!


Unlike other plants, the plant's flowers are more like an announcement; if all goes well, in 2 months there will to be pups (usually about 8). However, these flowers are not the plant's fruit. Instead, the plant sends out pups from the bottom, much like succulents. When the pups are nearly as large as the mother, that's when they can be removed and shared with other air plant lovers! (Let me know if you are one).

Glad you came to see the air plant's progress! Please visit again.

Air Plant (Airplant) Flower!

Hi!
Not sure which is the proper way to spell these plants. No matter, I love them just the same. (However, I will spell it with a space because my spell check likes that better.)

One of my air plants is actually flowering! What a fun time. If all goes well, I'll have pups in a month or two! Before that happens, I will move the plant to a more spacious place so she has lots of room to propagate.




I'll keep taking pictures as her flower keeps growing.

Goodbye Steve Jobs

We ALL are going to suffer a great loss without Steve Jobs. He has revolutionized our lives beyond image.

Thank you Steve. I learned on your computer sooo long ago and have used your productions ever since.
