TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR MY ABSENCE...

 While sifting through old stuff, I found this. It was taken when we were building our house. 

   

The python was a premiere "rodent exterminator."

But that was years ago...

Some of my spring bulbs have produced leaves, but I'm not sure which is which as a very whirly wind blew the name tags all over the place! But that's OK. Once they've flowered, I'll lift them and replant them along the back fence next year. 

I snapped off several flowering stems of Salvia leucantha when the wind threatened to decapitate them; They are still holding-up, along with a few camellias.

Salvia and camellia

                                                 

   Pink camellia

                                                         

The very hungry caterpillar (now ex-caterpillar!)

                                                  

Un-named Pelargonium;a beautiful, glowing red. Yes, there will definitely be cuttings taken!

                                           
I call him/her "Mittens." Lives two doors down, but seems to be the boss of the street.

And that's it for now. I seem to have picked up a bug and my nose wants to drip all over the keyboard...
