Plants

Yaaaa..... I'm writing about my plants.  People know how giddy I've been about my plants, Jason just shakes his head. :)  But, I DON'T talk to them-ok, it's not that bad. My Dad is helping me work on my green thumb, he happily responds to my emails. :)  My very first house plant- an aloe plant- it died.  I think I watered it too much.  And I have two plants in front of my house, they're in rough shape.  I don't think I watered them enough.  But I am trying to salvage them, they aren't completely done for.  Here's my new 'ponytail plant' -it's lookin good. It's been around for a month, and, so far so good.

These are my little seedlings.  I think it'll be the highlight of my week when I see the first little sprout come out of the dirt.

I've got some herbs, some flowers, and some cactus' in there.  

I like to write the English and the Spanish.  I'm trying to encourage the bilingualism to come through. :)

Well, be assured, I will probably post a pic of the seedlings when they actually poke through.

I love seeing new growth.  I love that we're in the rainy season right now, and everything is sopping wet.  We have to make sure our house is in shape for the rainy season.  A couple days ago, when it was storming, it was flooding behind our house (that's where our washer and dryer is).  Jason went and unclogged the drains.  And we decided that we need to put some wood underneath the washer and dryer to protect it from the elements. 

We also went to Home Depot and bought some containers with little balls that soak up moisture in the air.  We put those in our bedroom.  Last rainy season, our first few months in Mexico, we had mildew problems in our bedroom, and our bed sheets were always quite damp.  These should help.  Things are a bit different here, but we wouldn't want to be anywhere else.  We love that the Lord has sent us here to be a witness for Him.
