sempervivum

I have been obsessively collecting sempervivum (hens & chicks) since I was a teenager. I don't actually know how many I have anymore... hundreds. I am not even sure how many containers full I have at this point. My very first one was a hollow log that I made my little brother drag out of the woods for me when we were kids. I still have it and it's going strong 15+ years later. I have been noticing them getting trendy lately-- I guess I was ahead of my time. This is one of my favorite dealers... I have been known to pinch cuttings whilst on vacation too. If only I could afford to convert my house to a green roof it would be on. So on.

This little early girl tomato fell off while being transplanted.

easter eggs

Yeah... I still dye easter eggs like a toddler. Then I take pictures of them! I keep meaning to experiment with natural dyes, but I never quite get around to it.

costa rica

Went to Costa Rica for my 30th birthday. Met Cloris Leachman... no really I did. My friend almost beat her up. She was staying at our hotel!
