Balcony Garden

The heat and the sun are doing wonders for the plants on the porch. I have some blooms consistently popping out on some plants, a few new blooms and some plants that I am actively watching and waiting for blooms.

"Heartleaf Ice Plant"


"Sedum Gold Mound" - hey mom, look I found out what it is!


My long-living "Geranium" - very good bloomer this season!


"Adenium" - not quite as lovely as my mom's, but it will get there :)


This is an unidentified succulent that I picked a piece off of a plant near Auditorium Shores. It already has a bloom popping out!


And, although this doesn't have any blooms, I'm so excited that it is finally growing back some leaves after the move. This is a "Triangle Ficus" or Joe's nickname "Super Mario Plant"

First of many (I hope)

This is my first post. I tried this once before and it didn't work out too well. Not enough time and too much negative stuff going on that it was a venting zone rather than a compilation of the good and the bad and the weird. I have been contemplating starting up a blog again for a while now, because Joe and I seem to always find fun and interesting things to do here in Austin. I want to share them with anyone out there that wants to listen. Besides our adventures, which usually involve food, festivals or bars, I will probably include recipes (I love to cook), stuff about my green thumb and what is blooming or growing on my porch, and updates on Gypsy, the other being that shares our apartment space. See below.

Gypsy

Although this blog reflects the activities in all three of our lives, Emily (me) will be the primary author. Joe kept a livejournal for the entirety of his college life, so maybe he will want to contribute occasionally. I look forward to this new addition to my daily routine and I welcome any comments, suggestions or opinions.
