Yes, this will be more like a project "Sporadic 527"

Having to celebrate a successful show indoors due to inclement weather. Taken from inside the cafeteria looking towards the auditorium, where I usually teach.
(Fortunately the gods held back the night before, providing us with a break in the rain just long enough to run across in full costume, do the show, then run back to take them off!)

After the rain.
I'm hoping these poinsettias last until next Christmas!

... a few days later...
It stands out even more now, not only because of all the blooms on it, but it's the only flower in the garden right now (aside from loads of calla lilies on the other side).

Taken before the gardeners came and pruned ALL the rosebushes!!
:(
I know it's necessary, but they could've told me so I could save the pretty ones! Poo.

Found these two tucked away in a bag (brand new) - apparently my aunt's former caretaker bought them to send to family and never did. I attached a note addressed to the children next door saying "Hi, we've been living with Elizabeth for some time now, and we heard that you guys are really fun and have the best tangerines and challah bread around, so we were wondering if we can come stay with you..." and reached over the wall between us to leave them on a lounge chair in the backyard. (they were gone within an hour)
(They've brought me FRESH BAKED challah bread every so often, and they grow their own tangerines and leave them at my door with the kids' labeling my name on the bag).

Yay! My iris has finally decided to show itself!

View from the back door. The poinsettia plants seem quite happy outdoors (this is after a shower). Now... where to put them?

My gardener says it's not the season for growing tomatoes.Tell that to the tomato plant.
