So here's a few pics of what's going on around the house. Cactus and succulent plants have always been some of my favorites, and most of them start blooming in spring. The first one started getting buds this week:
For some reason, my orchid is re-blooming. It had a flower spike over the summer which I cut off after the flowers died (they last a few months) and it's not supposed to get another one until next year. Well it started growing one right away, and it looks like it's gonna have ten or more flowers. A sign?
Gregg's herb garden is starting to pick up. Collared greens and peppers have started growing, and in the spice garden the rosemary is huge (always is) and the oregano has started going crazy again. We bought some parsley, garlic, chamomile, and French thyme but haven't transplanted it out there yet.
On such a great day, I took my nieces and nephew for a hike over at Usury Park which is about 15 minutes from our house. Here's the beginning of the trail and some shots from the hike:
Also, right now it's almost half time an--
Holy crap--what? Did that just happen? 100 yards? Ugh.

A note from Ripley:
"The humans have put their precious spice garden at Labrador level. Here I'm pretending to guard it from pigeons. On days we don't go to the park, Chase pees on the oregano. I say nothing."

Hahahah! I'm lovin the comment from Ripley!!!
What a great game! I was hoping AZ would be able to come back. I actually felt bad for the QB because he was sacked on his last play. I was happy to see that AZ kept the Steelers on their toes.
I'm lovin the plants... I don't have a green thumb at all. We kill every live plant that comes into our home. Someone gave us a tree for our house warming and now its dead. We try not to think of it as a sign but just our lack of knowledge in the gardening field!
I been to AZ 2 times. My Great Grandparents lived there for 12 years. They onw live back home in PA. I loved it there. Im trying to get Nick warmed up to visiting there someday. I would love to retire from the Air Force there, but I Nick wants to stay on the East coast.
You should so do a desert themed contest. You could give away cactus lollipops!
I had a lot of fun with my giveaway. Seeing what everyone had to say was fun and interesting.
I hope he stated most of the pics from the house are things I keep alive, black thumb keeps killing his plants. That Orchid I talk to everyday and touch it, that is why I think it bloomed again for us. Just my magical touch! I can't wait to have those collards though.
