The Jungle

Well yesterday and today, I seem to be calming down in the cough and snot chapter.  It seems I cannot get totally over this bug and then it starts all over.  Hopefully, it is leaving permanently soon.  Knee is better too so pretty much all good news.

I went to a plant swap that was a lot of fun on Saturday.  I won a Coca Cola bird bath as one of the door prizes.  The best thing I brought home was new Plumeria and I am so excited to smell their wonderful fragrances.  The host and hostess, Jim and Debbie Burch, were extremely hospitable hosts and just nice friendly people.  We all thoroughly enjoyed the new friends we made and the old friends we knew.  My birdbath was filled with Plumeria blooms which were gorgeous.  I also got to bring home the floating Plumeria blooms.  Isn't this gorgeous?  The other picture is of my Hawaiin Pink Plumeria that my friend brought me back from Hawaii last year.

 Plumerias seem to be my newest obsession.  I have grown them from seed and from sticks and they smell good along with being beautiful.  Since my knee has been out, I have spent lots of time online looking at those many varieties, drooling and some times green with envy.  There is something appealing with that beautiful color and fragrant smell.  Now I need to get moving and get the house back in order from the phase 2 part of the remodel and all I want to do is just sit and look at plumies.  My sewing room is next on the remodel but it will take a lifetime to get all that stuff straightened out so we are not starting that for a few weeks anyway.  I am really missing my sewing and I am tired of going through "stuff" and putting it up or out the door.  Anyway, looking forward to a break and now since it is raining and probably cooler, I am headed to the back to see what I can do with all those new plants I got at the swap.  Until we meet again........
