Days roll by...
Not much exciting going on since the birthday. We're still dealing with the draught, but the little moths seem just about gone. Our first Protea Aristata flower bloomed this week. The Aristata are very slow growing plants for us; almost five years from the time that it went in the ground to its first flower. The plant stands only about 28 inches tall, but the flowerhead is nearly 5 inches in diameter.
You can see a second bloom, not yet open, in the back ground of the second picture. We're thinking of just keeping it for ourselves, and leaving it on the plant, since we won't get more than about $1 for it wholesale. I guess we could auction it off on ebay...
Still working on the room. Tolver has gotten most of the electrical wiring done, and the sliding glass door arrives on Saturday.
I'm adding a list of links to other blogs that I visit. I find other blogger's lists very useful for finding other, like-minded individuals. It should show up under the advertisements on the right. link | posted by Reese at 12:52 PM
