Vines on a Wall

In downtown Abilene there's a wall that's part of the raised train station that goes through the town.  Along some of the wall there are vines growing that look really great in summer when all the leaves are out. This particular wall faces one of the two down town parks, giving it a country look in the middle of the town.

Houseplants

I've never been interested in or very good at outdoor gardening, but I love houseplants and seem to be ok at keeping them going.  There's only one place in my apartment that works for plants, so this is what I've got.

A Cluster of Cacti

Three of us took a walk through the park at the lake this morning.  They were both looking for flowers (of which there were many because of all the rain we've had lately), but I'm not a gardener so I was just hoping for some photo ops.  

I finally saw this cluster of cacti, post-bloom, but in very good condition.  That doesn't happen too often, so I grabbed a shot of them.  

After our little trek, one of the ladies and I headed over to an estate sale, I bought a bed for the spare bedroom, she bought some odds and ends.  Some guys at the estate sale graciously loaded the bed onto her truck and the two of us unloaded it at my house, got it all set up and then we went for lunch to a local Greek place.  

I'm grateful today for:

friends who are wiling to help in times of need

7/365   Spider Plant

I love indoor plants.  There are a couple that I manage to not only keep alive, but keep healthy.  This is one of them.  

My roommate has three cats who are very persistent at swatting at anything hanging, so I need to keep this one in my bedroom.  I also need to keep my bedroom door shut so they can't get to the plant.  

I'd love to get more plants, but it's basically just throwing money away while the cats are here.

I guess I'll just have to take joy from this one.
