Ahh, yes . . . I've always liked baby pictures, so why should baby cactus be an exception? This is from when the nopales were babies, in 2017. They had just been planted from cuttings out of Carlos and Kate's back yard. When they first started growing, I was so excited. But then again, not …
When cacti go rogue. Once upon a time, in 2017 to be exact, Carlos and Kate had some giant nopales, and they gave me a few pieces to plant in my own yard. As the years went by, the baby nopales began to grow. And grow. . . And grow! By 2022 they were starting …
Actually I guess it’s really winter, but hey. Sometimes you just have to go outside and take pictures of your yard, if only for the proverbial “blog material”. There are leaves everywhere. The last time the gardeners were here, I had forgotten to unlock my back gate, so they weren't able to get any of …
"Consider the lilies of the field..." Or, in my case, the succulents of the back yard! The message of these words, as most of you know, is that we should trust God to take care of us, and not stress over the future. I realize that in the day we are living in, that may …
Or maybe I mean "A Sticker-y Situation"... Because while cactus thorns can stick you I guess they aren't technically stick-y. But anyway. We can do an English lesson on that another day. Right now I'm just worried about whether to say "cactus" or "cacti" or even "cactuses" while writing this post.In "Here is Yard Art", …
First let me say... I did not purchase the above plant. I took the picture merely to show the price, which you really can't see after all. But it was something like $79.99.Suffice it to say, I have my own. I actually think it originally came from Grandma Tracy's house, and it seems like it's …
"Hey, Panda!" Foster's voice sounded sleepy. We were kicking back in the front living room while Mom was working on her blog. "What?" I replied, realizing I was kind of sleepy myself."Remember when we were in Peru and you fell into that cactus?" Foster asked. I had to laugh. "Yeah, that was kind of scary," …
So when Panda fell into the nopales in Peru, he said they were just like the ones at Carlos and Kate's house... ..and he wasn't terribly far from the truth. This is the one from Carlos and Kate's house. (We still don't know how Panda actually got that information, but anyway.) I thought it would …
I think it's about time for an update on my Whimsical Garden. Feel free to come along for a visit, and I promise you won't get caught in a whimsical spider web! One of the things I like best about my Whimsical Garden is the fact that I now have some solar lights in the …
