Hiatus...

Life is hectic...I need a blogging break.






I first saw an Aloe Ferox several years ago on the cover of Phoenix Home & Garden magazine. I instantly knew The Main Man would love it. I jumped on Ebay, found one, and bought it. Needless to say, he was surprised to open this giant box, finding a mature aloe plant...a slightly bedraggled aloe plant. We planted it that evening...and waited...for two years. Yesterday I was wandering the backyard in a slight daze...and saw this! It's going to bloom!! Hopefully...

But now, I'm thinking it may not be a Ferox...we'll see...



I was shopping with a client the other day at Galeria San Ysidro...and saw this bed. I think it's incredibly cool...he did not. It's on sale. Sadly, I have no place for it. It needs a lot of work,
but don't we all!

~Happy Holidays and Happy New Year~

Jill, we all need break this holiday season...don't you think?
I love those beds.
Years ago a friend of mine rented a one room apartment on the Ile St. Louis in Paris that was decorated magnificently with a carved chinese bed. It was fabulous!

I have a friend from one of our ex-colonies in Africa that inherited a huge land in the 80's. When she when there she first got very disappointed because it was all a big desert full of cactus. But then, in the 90's there was this strange craze about a so-called miraculous cactus called aloe vera...and she went filthy rich...

Isn't live marvellous?

The bed is on sale for $500. I just wish I had a place for it! The poor plant is covered with a sheet at the moment...covered with snow. It actually snowed here the last two days! Right now it's 25 frigging degrees!
