Paradise Island

Well, we all made it back in one piece. The boys and I tooka trip to Atlantis, paradise Island in the bahamas. We really had a good time. We went with my Mom and Cindy. We played on the water slides and by the pools, took a trip via taxi cab around seeing some houses and historical sites and een went on a boat to Rose Island for some snorkeling. We did that the last day we were there and Ill have to say I loved it! I tookHunter and Tyler out in this shallow reaf area and we saw alot of cool fish and pretty coral. I think if we had gone snorkeling earlier on the trip the kids would have wanted to spend more time in the ocean at different places, but it took us all week to get upthe courage! The nets tehy put up at all the beach sits get you scared of what they are trying to protect you from. Anyway.. I will put up some pictures when I can find my download cord, lost it, wouldnt ya know!

I love farfugium dont you?

Elizabeth id getting on to me about never posting on my blog anymore so I thought I would talk about plants. Since I know thats her FAVORITE subject! HA Got ya Lizzy. Anyway, this is my "crested leapord" farfugium basically looks like an overgrown clumping spotted dollarweed and I love them. I never even bother to fertilize them and they just sit there in the yard taking up space like they are supposed to.Behind them is a "monstera" philadendron that I thought would die this winter but decided to put it out of its misery from house plant hell. (my living room) but it overwintered fine and is growing big beautiful leaves outside, maybe I should have found out how big they get before I planted it seeing that its name is MONSTERA....hmmm sounds to much like monster.... Then in front of it is my variegated Mondo grass. Love it, pretty little stuff. Gosh I love my gardens, even the overgrown weed areas. HE HE HE ! Ya, I have them I just never post any pictures of that! maybe that will be next! the crabgrass thats taking over the african Iris bythe pool! Fun fun fun. Ok Lizzy, Im done now, hope you enjoyed the new PLANT BLOG. Somebody has to. Love ya BYE
