Have never seen them before. <br /><br />I think all of your trees and vines are pretty. Do many hummingbirds come to those orange flowers on the vine?<br /><br />If you didn't have so much greenery and trees surrounding your cottage, I think you would find the noise from the nearby 5 lane road to be very loud. The pine tree in our next door neighbor's yard died and had to be taken down. It had served as great noise barrier/absorber of the sounds generated by a nearby busy four lane road. We didn't realize it until the tree was gone. There isn't enough room on that side of our property for us to plant another tree, so I just have to get used to the louder noise level. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-42136486906919677892014-08-04T16:53:30.876-04:002014-08-04T16:53:30.876-04:00Thanks for the tour around your place.

But they never, ever got larger than the circumference of my wrist. I'm amazed! And I have heard of resurrection fern also. My mother is such a wonderful plant woman. Things grow for her happily. Plants see me coming and hide, hoping I won't take them home.

It's incredible to see the size of your Norfolk pine with the resurrection ferns growing up its trunk. Here Norfolk pines are sold as houseplants. Some achieve a decent height but nothing that remotely compares to yours!<br /><br />Over 25 years ago my husband and I made a trip to Florida and were scheduled to visit the everglades but on our way out with the guide we were called back in because of the threat of lightning. We were sad to miss the opportunity to visit but grateful to have missed the lightning which we could see out on the horizon.<br /><br />Thinking of you and wishing you well.<br />Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065113724187544247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-47277597058960567432014-08-04T13:27:14.584-04:002014-08-04T13:27:14.584-04:00An absolutely lovely post in words and pictures :)...An absolutely lovely post in words and pictures :) Thinking of you and wishing you a wonderful week!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389136708128457239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-72504707107222033752014-08-04T12:43:01.642-04:002014-08-04T12:43:01.642-04:00I can just see you back there off the road...tendi...I can just see you back there off the road...tending your gardens and doing handwork on something beautiful.

But I can also understand that keeping up your property is huge undertaking for you alone. So kudos to you for trying to stay on top of things. I like your motto at the end! It is sometimes hard not to get bogged down, but we need to pick ourselves up, dust us of and move on. Wishing you a wonderful week, with lots of energy and joy to get things done.
