My House To You

Since I rarely get any visitors and don't get to show things off, I thought I would bring a couple elements to YOU.

First off is the bedspread my mom made for my birthday. The blue denim fabric, she'd had in storage for years, fits it quite well with the rest of the blue in the room. The t-shirts are framed in black, just like all the other frames in the room. I love it!

Moving outside, here's a shot of my elephant ear garden. The unique flower in the front is a Dad and Mom creation. It's currently missing one petal (bolt), but I'm not going to take it to the shop until my eyes get fixed. If I knocked off two things already, I'm bound to do some more damage soon enough. There are two varieties of elephant ears in the garden, the big green ones with leaves as large as a seat cushion and the somewhat smaller darker leaved ones. Sorry, don't know the official names.

At the back of the yard along the fence is a wall of purple cannas, which have grow to be taller than me. I knew they would be tall, but the leaves are much larger than I had imagined... I just love the color of these.

Moving back inside, we see my Watchcat, Jinkies. I apparently need to de-hairify the window ledge I can't see behind the couch. :-)

He does such a great job guarding the house. He's always glad when I come home, so I can give him a rest from his post.
