spring has sprung

April 20, 2008

My new lens and I went outside for a few minutes to capture the season. My only wish is that the warmer days would out number the colder days. But, all things in perspective, my sis resides in Juneau, Alaska and she had a fresh foot of snow last week – I doubt she has tulips yet…






This is a box elder bug, a.k.a. my constant enemy. I have already had my yard sprayed for them once this season, and today, there may have been a new MILLION of them outside.

a plant romance

February 25, 2008

Whenever a girl has some difficult times, I feel it’s only appropriate to purchase some new plants. At the center of my soul, I am a gardner. This is a big splurge for me~I am having a love affair with my new plants, a.k.a. succulents, a type of Cactus…Arent’ they the cutest!?! I first spotted them about six months ago at Anthropologie, and when I wanted to buy them they were not for sale. Then I saw them again at “Soel Boutique” and once again, not a sale item. I finally found out where they were coming from – Cactus & Tropicals. Love that place! They are bringing such cheer to my home.
