Bored

Today has been very very slow. I was pretty excited to see our bat-faced cuphea is blooming. I've missed it (see here for previous encounters with the fun little bugger). Also, my dad planted a creeping fig in the front, and it'd be way cool if it ended up covering a wall. I love vines. Anyway, I'm just wishing I had more to do.

Dino Decor

Once upon a time my dad met some hippies in the Sam Hugh's neighborhood near the university. Those are all of those neat little tiny houses that are crazy expensive but so hip and cool. Well, this old man makes metal art! My dad really wanted one that was a giant pterodactyl, the creepy flying dinosaur. How cool, right? Well, the old man said that one wasn't for sale because it was his favorite. So my dad settle for a wicked sweet fish that looks like its a vicious dinosaur too. It now hangs in the front yard. That's how my dad rolls.

Also, the bat-faced cuphea is blooming again! Awesome!

It Just Gets Better

Overcast

I love today's weather. That's all. Oh, and the neat little red flower down there, it's called Bat-Faced Cuphea, because the flowers look just like little bat faces! Weird right? But really fun.
