Thank you all for your welcomes! I am happy to be here!
While I'm sipping some tea from "Eyes", I think of a great pair of boots for my hubby, and I am smiling to you all that are greeting me here! It appears that, transplanted - like Pam, Josephine or Bananna- or native like Sheila or Stephanie, Texans really have a big heart!
Christi, long time no see!! I am planning a thread with my three places that I call HOME. Right now it's only in my head, as I just can't decide where to post it.
For some, it might be a little confusing, sometimes it's even for me, LOL... but I can't help it. I guess once you put "a little soul and soil" in it, you call it home. So, I have home-home (this is Bucharest, Romania), Miami-home, and El Paso-home.
Thanks for the weather warning, Sheila! That won't influence my feelings... let me put it this way: when i first arrived in Miami 6 years ago (I am from Romania, a 4 seasons country), I thought I've entered a huge laundry room. And I still got attached to it. Now I've already been here for 10 days, and I started to ignore the hot dry air that enters my nose at every breath. I'm smiling at my husband and think: we are home again.
I can tell you all that I've been impressed of the variety of places Texas has, as we've been traveling along on I10 to get here. Practically, we cut the whole state from east to west! And at half point in our trip (crossing the Texas state border) we already felt like getting home!
I still didn't visit much of El Paso, with all the unpacking, but let me tell you: I've never seen so many oleanders in flower anywhere else on earth! And all the people we've met here were all smiles and ready to help!
I will have to get familiar with the plants here and I will need all the help I can get. So, I'll try to be good and present on DG.
Garden party for Texas!
