Howdyyy doooo, Early Birds!
Aren't our troops the BEST?
And they do it all for US!
That's what I call dedication.
Hope all y'all have a Thank-The-Troops Thursday!
(((hugs)))

Oddly enough, these Oxalis does survive outdoors in winter, but maybe because where we have it shelters it from the worst of winter cold. We’ve had these 3 plants for about 5-6 years. They just keep on coming back. I love them
I want a few more....maybe in pots. My mum has died. I have no idea why. It was doing great through the worst of the heat and then it just started drying up. Not from lack of water. I kind of wonder if something has eaten its roots.
I’m glad your hubby will keep the lawn looking nice. it makes a difference. I was so depressed earlier this year because I thought the grass was never going to green up. From lack of rain.
Ya know? I’m just ready for this year to be gone! LOL!
Now I’ll finish up this show and head out. Have a great time at the museum. If you get pictures of anything interesting, be sure to ping me to them. See ya Saturday!
Our winters are longer and colder than yours are. Some plants can handle a little cold but not prolonged. They can stay in the ground year-round farther south but we’d have to dig them up and keep them inside during winter. Up here, olaxis are houseplants rather than garden plants. I have five pots of them - three purple and two green.
I can’t say the yard is kept nice all the time. It’s pretty shaggy most of the time due to those seed stems. But we don’t care since we’re the only ones who see the yard. LOL
We’re just happy it’s green again because that ugly brown was depressing. We get enough of ugly brown during winter.
There hasn’t been much in the way of new stuff brought in to the museum lately but I always take the camera just in case. Maybe there’ll be something this weekend. I just hope we’re busy. It’s been a slow year there so far.
Catch ya Saturday.
The new brakes and gear-shift lever make Blue feel like a brand-now bike!
Tippy has no use for Blue, but is happy to stay home and play with her dozens of squeaky toys when I go for a ride.
