Jade Blooms pt 2

one of the 4 jade plants really came through with the blooms. they all had some, but this one looked the best. check it out:

Jade Blooms!

i moved all my plants inside b/c of freeze warnings. they are taking up space in the kitchen, which i hope to remedy this weekend.



anyway, they are all succulents including Christmas Cacti and Hunter Jade. i was looking at them this week and noticed the Christmas Cacti are sprouting buds, which is great.




I love the blossoms they produce and it's a reminder of the changing seasons. check out my past glory:



as the subject of this post might suggest, i was amazed, ecstatic, floored, etc., to discover my Hunter Jades are sprouting buds, too!! this is a first for me. i've always wanted a blooming Jade and now i have...4.

i took a few pics. more pics to come as they progress.





Thanks, Daniel!!!

HAHAHA!!!

Shocking story about McCain-Palin sign stealers and the man who had the courage to stand up to the face of evil and make a difference.

Happy Birthday, Stuss

Krusty, or "Stuss" as we've taken to calling him, turned 12 years old on the 12th of October this year. i figured what better way to celebrate than scan a bunch of old pictures and upload them on a Picasa album. Sometime in the early 2000's we went digital, so they're not all crappy.

enjoy!

Stuss's Retrospective

Goodbye Polly

Mom and Sam had to put this little angel of a dog down today:



she was just shy of her 17th birthday. part of me wishes i could've been there, but the other part is glad i wasn't. the long distance insulated me enough to where i wasn't a complete mess today. unlike Mom and Sam.

she called me tonight and told me about Polly's last day and how everything went as well as it could have. the call started off normally, but as she went on, she started getting upset. the small details of how it all went down caused that insulation i spoke of to start breaking away and the emotion hit me, too.

i love you, Polly! i will always remember you.

da midnight choo-choo

where can i get a pair of tickets??

Similarities??

hopefully the baby won't have a tail, brown teeth or bite people.
