For the love of cacti...

Some gawk at boys and shoes. Some coo at babies. Some cheer for outstanding performances.

And some do all these for cactuses. And by some, I mostly mean me.

Maybe it's because Arizona is my one true love or maybe it's because it's PINK (probably) or maybe it's because 2 years ago I finally figured out that cactuses don't attack you with prickles, but whatever it is, I LOVE CACTUSES.

Also, I giggle and gawk and reassure them they're the bees knees about every 3 seconds. Those poor little cacti, such sensitive souls. They need a boatload of affirmation. Or I just like blubbering.
 Probably not that.

Here's to a plant that loves black thumbs! Amen Amen!

PS: if I spelled cactus wrong, I'm sorry. My mother was napping and spellcheck is having a bad day.

Punk in the Garden

Lets Just focus on the kale.

Today I went out in my pretty pink coat with my camera in hand. I ended up in the garden.

Mostly because I was trying to shoo Punk away from the Kale and Basil. It will eventually go in my mouth and I absolutely do not want punk germs on my food. While I never do it, gardening just seems so fun. Planting it, watering it, waiting for it to grow - it just is way to long of a process for me. I like things to go fast. I'm also not the most patient person you could know. I am for sure going to try flowers again this year. Last year, they all just ended up becoming a pile of weeds. This year I am hoping for much more beautiful and colorful results!

 

Huzzah! I finally made the switch and can make my pictures nice and large. I used to make them so small!  This is really going to enhance my low quality photo's huh? Maybe I should switch back and spare you all. :)
