Not gardening, but fun

Stepping outside of the "normal" writer, while free speech and unencumbered thought still exists. In the current world strife with stress, reading and writing can be a healthy release!

Hello fellow dirt lovers. It's been a while. But I have a few blooms to share. Happy Planting! My "Queen" aloe sprouted off some little ones. Just for kicks I put in some wild flower seeds, and lastly my 5 year old amaryllis is happily blossoming again.

I keep a critter feeding and watering area, this particular Squirrel that I call Harry is one of the elder visitors. He has 1 eye, I suspect he was born that way since there is no scarring on his face. Today he cracked me up sitting on my balcony rail as a chair as he had his breakfast.

Last bloom from my Widows-Thrill succulent for this season. Oddly enough, I picked her up at a neighborhood plant trade, knowing absolutely nothing about this type. Thank you google....however, this little miss picky does not like full sun, she's much happier with 1/2 and 1/2 lighting. She's been re-potted for root room, and added some flat stones on her topsoil to assist in keeping her warmer as our colder weather is setting in; in California (in the evenings anyway). Happy Planting everyone!

It's been a short while. Things are blooming nicely. My little friend was a little overheated (in the red circle) and enjoyed stretching out on my rail.

Some days the lil visitors are more important too me than the plants.
