The Mango Trees are in Full Bloom!

I have been anticipating this for quite some time. When I was up at my aunt's house in Tampa during the first week of December, my cousin was checking out the trees saying he'd seen some mangoes blooming. Look at my babies now! Doni is the large one in the yard and Ice Cream is the one in the pot, a dwarf, out on the lanai.

My Tio Dodi would be proud!

And the CC on Christmas Day!

Everyone is here

Except for me. Well, heck! Somebody has to take the pictures!

Christmas in Florida

This is Christmas Eve at my house. My sister and her family were down from Michigan. Ahhh ... what a switch eh sis?

Christmas Cactus

It's just 3 days before Christmas and look at it. There are still a lot of buds that need to bloom. This plant is thriving well in its location, outside on the table in the lanai.

Merry Christmas!

Happy birthday Jesus!

And today's CC

Note the tons of buds on this plant! It's going to be gorgeous.

It's Christmas Cactus Time Again

This picture was taken about a week ago.

Lila and me

Yeah. Right. Here I'm trying to hide behind Lila. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... I didn't want anyone to see me in my grunge.

Back to Habitat

I went to go help Lila paint her walls in her almost finished home and we were roped into painting another house. But that was a good thing. I met this fella, Steve, while painting and he is a biology professor at the new college Ave Maria University in the new town being built, Ave Maria. Nice meeting you Steve!
