Back to my Tropical Garden

I've been back from San Jose for a couple of weeks, and I'm finally settled back into home life.

While I was gone, my tomatoes and baby pineapples continued to bloom and grow, bloom and grow. ('respect' to those who got that reference)

Here's the newest member of our pineapple crop. Notice that it's still got the purple blossoms attached.

And her big brother:

Other tropicals that I planted last year... these are all crotons, from left to right: Rooster Tail, Duck Foot, and Thai String.

Aloha, y'all!

Aloha, San Jose, Aloha !!

While I was in San Jose, I was able to see many friends and visit many favorite restaurants. It was a busy busy week and, as much as I loved seeing everyone, I'm happy to be home again.

I stayed with Barbara and Steve and Megan (and the furkids, Hannah and McKenna). McKenna (a wire-haired terrier who is stone deaf) slept with me every night and was a great bed buddy! She took up much less space on the bed than Sophie!!!

The four of us went to the Sharks Tank and watched the Sharks play the Kings for their last regular-season game of the year. The Sharks won. And now, as I'm sure you know, the Sharks are destroying the Kings in the playoffs.

If you are one of my many friends whom I wasn't able to see on this trip, I'm sorry. Next time?
