Fuschia Plumeria

Plumeria from my parents

Sorry, the cemetery story will have to wait. I just wanted to do a quick post. My parents gave us two cuttings when we visited in June -- a yellow and a fuschia plumeria. They both survived the long drive back and they are still doing okay despite being young, rootless and slightly toasted. Not to mention our hot, dry summer. Both plants have bloomed. Now we have two new colors to add to the white plumeria Mark's brother gave us years ago. I posted a shot of that back in 2007.

Digging in the dirt

Mixing it up

Do you know that song? It's by Peter Gabriel and I like it a lot. It's an oldie. Not a golden oldie, but considered an oldie these days.

We got to work on the garden this weekend and really enjoyed being out in the yard together again. Here I am working on mixing up peat moss, manure and rich soil for our tomato plants. We also put in green beans, yellow squash, cucumbers, okra and sunflowers. And I'm going to try to grow some rosemary too. I'll take pictures of the plants once there's something to look at. Right now, there's just a lot of dirt. :)

I'll post more pics of our gardening this week. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! Thanks for all your nice and sometimes hilarious comments. As usual, I always enjoy reading what you think.
