I don't pretend to be who/what I'm not. I will be honest here unless I publish under the category "This could be news," which is 99% fiction and a wee bit sarcastic. ;-) I want readers who come here to have as much fun as I do. Not all subjects can be fun, but most can be funny if I do my job right ;-)
My inner child is reflected in my logo and will change at a moment's notice.
Big Momma is my oldest and largest Aloe plant. Each year her flowers are more beautiful than the last.
The First of Big Momma's Flowers this Year
Big Momma has “given birth” to many aloe pods, which took root, and grew into the aloe garden I have now. I was watering my prickly girls yesterday and discovered that several of the 3-year olds had flowers of their own.
Of course I had to take photos of this to share with y’all. Last summer I introduced Big Momma and we watched her flowers progress from petals to pods.

Now there will be twice as many pods dropping and no soil available. Look at how the cactus’ (cacti?) are crowded together, and growing over and under each other. Try to weed that garden, I dare you! [It is possible, but you have to wait until the weeds grow tall enough, then use the BIG BBQ tongs to grab them. I’m glad my cactus garden is in the backyard so there are no witnesses to this bizarre gardening technique.]
3-year old "Little Momma"
A light-bulb begins to flicker in my brain. Yes, that can, and occasionally does, happen! I could adopt these soon to be born aloe pods, tuck them into pots, and move them with me to our new house.
