I finally found me a column cactus, now, hope I can make it live and maybe even grow! They had some cute castus gardens for sale at the airport in Phoenix when we were coming home from CHA, but, I couldn't talk Tex into carrying it home with us on the plane.

I got this hydrangea to plant by my swing. I hope I can keep this one alive. I used to have some that were huge and I quit watering them so much, bad mistake I guess, they do love water.
I love to dry the blooms, they make the prettiest bouquets!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  34. Love, love, love your work. You are such an inspiration to me. I must admit, I do not have a green thumb at all. I can't grow flowers at all. When I am in the hospital, I have asked not to receive flowers or plants because I end up killing them all LOL. I instead tell people if they want to get me something, to get me a gift card to Ac Moore, Hobby Lobby, or Micheals. I say this only because I have had 4 back surgeries in the past 3 years. I had two last year and I am still having back problems. So, keep me in your prayers! The pain is constant and chronic.
    Again, thank you so much for the inspiration. I love your work!
