Red and Green

Meh... a little overexposed, but oh well.

The visitors have all gone home and we've done all the traveling we're going to do (for the most part) over the holidays, and how we're home again. It's been a whirlwind of a Christmas, but it's been a good one. We had a great time, the kids are happily playing their new Wii (that thing is SO COOL!) and the cat is happy to have us home again. Most importantly, we got to spend time with our family, and my heart goes out to all those who are missing someone at Christmas.

I have some home projects to tackle while I'm off, so I'm still crazy busy but I am so glad to be home again.

Hens and Chicks

Or, just a hen. No chicks in the picture. :) These are funky plants, and I like them lots.

Elephant Ear

This plant is called an "Elephant Ear." My Aunt Bonnie has one that she's kept going for years, and it's huge. Each leaf is about 3-4' long and they really do look like elephant ears. When you plant them outdoors, they get even bigger.
