Living Tapestry - Part 1

Had a few empty planters around the house, so took a fun little trip to a local greenhouse to choose one or two new ornamentals....
Quintessential kid in a candy store!
Everything looked so tempting, it was really hard to choose what to bring home.
Here's a really small sample of the botanical tapestry that spread out before me -

So you can see my dilemma.
After wandering around for what seemed like hours, a few decisions were made....
Happy to report that I did not give in to temptation, but instead stuck with a shopping list based on what plants would do best in the locations I had.
Updates to come.....

Welcome Weekend....

Home Grown Avocados!

Did you know that, thanks to Super Bowl Sunday guacamole, more avocados are consumed in the U.S. in January and early February than any other time of the year?
Despite the fact that our household knows next to nothing about sports, the avocado tree in our backyard decided to celebrate the season by gifting us with -TWO- lovely little avocados...

This is quite a feat for us here in the middle of San Francisco, as our climate zone is not really warm enough in the summer for avocados to thrive.

But that does not prevent our avocado tree from flowering like crazy every year...

And every year we fervently hope that some of these flower buds mature into lovely, luscious avocados...

So even though two smallish avocados may not seem like much of an accomplishment, we were very pleased with our harvest, and standing at the kitchen counter, we slowly savored every nutty, buttery bite....

This week I'll be passing the plate around at
