My light garden

I have spent most of the last 2 days cleaning up my light garden. I repotted violets, cleaned cactus, repotted the 2 begonias, cleaned the orchids and the trays. All the plants are watered and clean and tomorrow I will fertilize the ones that are going to survive the cleaning. I split one very tired violet into three. One looks to be fading fast. I really don't need 3 of the same. My light garden has 3 shelves and is 4 feet long by about 5.6 feet tall. This was my 'picker upper' gift to myself when I turned 50. Its a pleasure to own. In the morning, I turn on its lights and spray the few orchids, violets and the begonias with a light mist. This has become a ritual for the morning, like brushing my teeth.

The theme for the week at VFXY is 'something new". I hope the new little buds on the old orchid will be okay for the theme. I bought this orchid for the half price of $12 at the grocery store. This store puts their orchids from the flower shop on at half price when they loose their blooms. Its a good deal. I have two of them now that have re-bloomed and are in good healthy condition. They are not specialty orchids, just phalinopsis, but they look good, and bloom better than the fancy ass ones I have purchased at orchid shows. My violets are mostly minatures. I only have so much room and am now at full capacity. Air plants are really small and showy when in bloom. I have one that blooms and the other one just seems to be constantly green... no blooms. I have never had a cactus bloom for me yet. I guess I shall need to get a Christmas cactus, or treat the ones I have very badly so they think their life is at an end and they should go forth and propogate.

This is the last photo on my way out of the Hermitage. There is something about this that reminds me of The Matrix, Revolutions.

Frog

Another page for my 'under construction' albums. This one is for Animals. Not sure if its a frog or a toad.

Yeah!

This is the photo on my 'under construction' page for Gardening - Alpines. I have decided to make these under construction pages for all the albums I have listed, but not completed, on my web page. Hopefully this will mitigate some of the annoyance people might feel when they try to access an album and get the 'not found' message.

I have finally loaded our trip to Malta in 2003, to the Travel page. I like how it looks. There is one little mistake that I found, but its too small to be bothered with reloading it all. Check it out! www.mmmee.com/03Malta

I tried to clean out the cache of my browser, and managed to clear out a few other things, including my favourites on VFXY. My browser is pretty fast, now though. I spent a bit of time recovering my favourites. Hope I found them all.

I had a quick look at Word Press for web page design. Microsoft has a new page builder in beta, I think. I am still thinking about Dreamweaver, though, as the best one. I want to do my own blog, too, probably with pixel post. But this is in the future, as I have a few things to do at the moment.
