How do you hang a Geode?
  Found this Geode while house boating with family in Kentucky/Tennessee area
on Dale Hollow Lake ( dammed reservoir) , launched from Wisdom Docks
Albany,Ky.

This geode was found as shown with a portion already broken away. I just now
 had the idea of wanting to be able to suspend this object and to turn it into an
object of art. Using dyed waxed linen along with some bone beads.

Saturday, March 28,2015  Wild Oats and Tomatoes

     Euphorbia milii crest  - China Wall Crested Crown of Thorns repotted two weeks ago
using composted yard material and one of those materials happens to be a tomatoe. I suspect
that it is a Compari tomatoe purchased from the grocery store. It is a rare for a tomatoe to have
reached the compost. It must have been over ripe. Discovered this vulunteer while Spring  cleaning
in the yard. Needless to say how these simple pleasures brought a smile to my face. Will have to
give the seedling its own berth too.


While at Wal-mart shopping for the line of Wild Oats labled products, I discovered that Wild Oats makes a curry spice. Along with some organic canned Corn and Peas. Yippee!


 Sunday, March 29,2015 Orchid's first bloom of the season
  Encyclia cordigera orchid started to open up this morning. This is the orchid's third year and it is one of two fragrant orchids that I have and enjoy. Another unique feature of the orchid of the large
onion like psuedobulbs (not shown).
