Look!

what’s blooming…..

Tossed placed out into the garden after Christmas,

I thought it wouldn’t bloom again ….

…..until next Spring.

But ….

here it is……

in all it’s Christmas glory….

What do I know ?

Pathways….

at TheGreatWall serve a purpose….

To divert run-off from rains,to the lake…..

They run through pine needles…

gravel and reclaimed concrete,

repurposed into stepping stones….

and melaluca mulch….

Paths to no where

sometimes

lead to somewhere……

The first of the plumeria…

……have bloomed!

This one is usually cream with yellow,but for some reason,this year,it is more yellow with just a touch of cream….

Could it be the past two warm winters?

The scent is overwhelming…….

 

…………an interruption for an Emma alert………

Hi!

 

I may be prejudiced but I think she’s cuter and prettier than the plumeria……….

 

Who knew ?

That is was so easy to get excited by an electrical panel?

All correctly labeled,too.The one on the right is for the tankless hot water heater.The water heater has caused a slight delay,as it wasn’t in the original plans/permitting.It turns out you need a separate permit and inspection,not mention the separate electrical panel, just for that(at least in Hillsborough County ).Who knew?

….learned my lesson to not change my mind mid-project…..

 

or new windows….

The sink will be under the middle window.

 

or recessed plumbing/electrical for the washer/dryer….

Now,the washer and dryer will sit right up against the wall.It’s all about the floor space…..

 

It’s the little things in life……

 

:: sigh ::

Security Crew at TheGreatWall

Yep…….

They’re on the job….

“just checking for lubbers,Mom….”

Ummm,Harley,I think that’s a lizard…

“Nope,it’s a lubber.”

Whatever you say…..

 

“I’m keepin’ the door safe from intruders….”

 

Yeah….

 

whatever…..

It’s gonna be a bright,bright,bright sunshiny day….

….with thanks to Jimmy Cliff…

 

“LOOK ALL AROUND THERE'S NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES”

“LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD THERE'S NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES”

 

“I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY”

 

“Gone are are the dark clouds that had me blind”

 

 

Yep….

IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT

BRIGHT

BRIGHT

SUN SHINY DAY

 

All the sunflowers were grown from bird seed I happened to spill in the garden.

A nice,unexpected surprise…..

The Color Purple……

….is all over TheGreatWall….

Irises abloom….

The first of the Agapanthus blooms….

Does Plumbago count?

Angel’s Tears never fail…

 

Society Garlic has started to bloom…
