To add salt to the wound (for not having a girl), our new house comes with a dollhouse. I would love for it to end up looking like this:
But the reality is that it will probably become a fort for fighting ninjas. A girl can dream...
I'm also very excited about this magnolia tree. I had a really pretty magnolia tree in the backyard of our current house. It was in full bloom when we first saw the house. I was instantly in love, but years later I had to sacrifice it for a trampoline. My boys thoroughly enjoyed it, but my heart has always been apologizing to the poor tree who did nothing to deserve such fate. Now, I have a new magnolia who can help heal that wound. God is good.
Foxglove:
Probably my all-time favorite. I'm not sure if there are any already there, since it is not the season for them, but if there aren't I will be planting them...lots of them.
What is your all-time favorite plant?
Ahhhhh, a fellow gardener! Living in Colorado is hard on my green thumb. I miss my home in West Covina where I had a tropical, herb, veggie garden and over 50 rose bushes that I tended everyday. I miss that, but love living in a place where I can breathe fresh air. It all balances itself out. My favorite plant of all time has to be Bird of Paradise. I have Hollyhock seeds that I gathered from an island off the southwest coast of France (red, pink, yellow, black, purple & white) and planted them all around my old neighborhood in CA. Those seeds produced the most beautiful hollyhocks and every year I would gather the seeds and save them. I planted a lot here in CO and they come back every year. One day when we get together I will bring you some. They will put a smile on your face...they do mine! Hope all is well with you my friend. ~tammie
ReplyDeletefoxglove are poisonous plants so, plant them only in the front yard were doggie won't get to them, they could be fatal if ingested. I know i am the bearer of bad news, but rather safe than sorry i say.
