I do love my living area but it is really crowded now. Hopefully now that Josh is moving his stuff out I will have more space in an upstairs room to move some of these up there. He has been moving things out while we were away. This winter I will be going through the house cleaning out closets and getting rid of things.
I think I may be a little fixated on the future Greenhouse. This summer I kept picking up new plants and thinking I only have to keep it this winter and then I can put it in the Conservatory next year. As a result I have quite a few more plants this winter than I did last year. I even brought home a pot of Creeping Fig from Fl. with the intention of growing it on one of the Conservatory walls you know the wall that isn't even here yet. LOL Of course I so love the Fig covered walls in Savannah I just couldn't help myself.
I really missed everyone while I was away it will take me awhile to get caught up. Maybe a laptop computer for Christmas so I won't be quite so out of touch when we travel. There is a small computer shop in our area that sells refurbished computers at very good prices.
Ric and Josh started collecting some lumber for a few new projects right before we left and Josh and Jamie finished dragging home the rest of the wood while we where gone. Josh is adding a covered area behind his garage to store firewood and some other things and our share of the lumber will go to a large trellis over the parking area that my Wisteria will climb on. Ric also got a call while we were gone about used brick at his Uncles house. So we need to get up there and see what he has and how much. Ric would love to remove the stone parking area and replace it with bricks. Just getting the compacted stone out will be a job, but since the stone would go to Jamie's house for his long driveway we could get him to come dig it up. He's young and has lots of muscles. Well I guess we will have to see what is up at Uncles house before we get too far. We may be hauling bricks again before the end of the week.
Here is a better shot of some of the plants filling up the living room. Anyone that had seen the shots of my Tropical corner on the patio will recognize them right in the front and my big pot of Coleus. I'll be taking cuttings from that and getting rid of the big pot later this week.
