Plants in Our Neighborhood an Ode to Sarah
We have a friend Sarah Floyd, and she is traveling all over the world right now. She loves plants, so the kids and I took a walk in our neighborhood and took some pictures. We thought you would like them too. I am not a master at plant names like Sarah, so the kids and I have made some up for you.

This is an ivy like the popular house ivies in the states, but
they get ginormous here.

It looks like you had a beautiful day there!! Is the weather warming up for you all? We are just starting to get teased by the sun "up" here. I am normally a winter person (haha winter-get it?) but this year the summer is calling my name! Collecting those picures looks like a great way to spend some time!! Take care! And we'll see you in Tulsa! Woo-hoo!
What beautiful flowers! God's creativity is so cool. Thanks for taking us on your walk today. I also heard you were coming to Tulsa!!!! I am very excited, and looking forward to a great time....you need to tell us the story of how/why/where you are coming?? You said Angie and your hubby had a part in it...talk to you soon.
M-
It is warming up here. It is going from winter nice and warm/hot to summer too hot hot. One of the things I have really had to adjust to is sweating all the time. We don't have air conditioning, and I have always been a don't like to be sweaty kinda girl. I must say I have not totally adjusted yet. Some days we drive around in the car to have cool air conditioning.
I will be in Tulsa, and my hubby, Angie and I think some others did arrange it. It will only be me :( and I found out yesterday. My birthday is this month. Jeff is gone this week, and I am with the kids. He will get back Mon, and I will leave Wed for Tulsa Workshop. SO excited to see you.

I LOVE IT!!!!! I like your plant names better! You guys ROCK!!!! I wish I lived somewhere bougainvillea would survive the winter. I am not saying that I want to live without air conditioning, though!
Hug those kids really good for me! I am absolutely in love with them!
LOVE the names! Don't you wish sometimes you were in charge of naming stuff?
Being from Oklahoma, I am! It's my, "name it and people just think you're an okie" card. Ha. (in reference to the Harris blog)

I am glad you liked it. I hope you know you are loved. Thank you for blogging us into your life.

The pink-a-mint was actually Abby's name and I was amazed. I loved it.
I must say we pick on you because we love you, and if it were not you it would be us(me). Did you know one time I was talking to Jeff about bikes and willies and he said "Did you just say willy?" "YES. You act like you don't know what a willy is." He laughed and laughed and said " It is a wheelie." However, I also thought it was "finders keepers, losers sweepers"
Oh, Amy you make me laugh out loud!!!!
Okay, I was just going to tell you how much I liked your flower names, but now I am laughing so hard that I'm doing that silent laughter thing that always makes Chad panic. (He thinks I can't breathe when I do that.) I think you're back on the top of the list of "Funniest people I know."
