Artsy Sister Celebrates Tanabata 2021
Tanabata has become of a little family tradition. Brother person got into celebrating Tanabata with his girlfriend. I ended up joining in the fun, along with my mother. For those not up to date with the fun, Tanabata is known as the Star Festival in Japan. The celestial deities Orihime and Hikoboshi are together at last. They are only allowed to meet up once per year, on the seventh day, of the seventh month of the lunar Calendar.

My Lovely June Plants
The Summer has finally arrived to South Florida. I have gotten into the habit of doing a monthly report on the plants. A good portion have gone the way of the dodo. It is all a learning experience.

Habemus Bell Peppers
Today I went to check up on my lovely bell peppers and I was delighted to see that I had two fruits. It is the first time all my toils have yielded fruit, both in the figurative and in the literal sense. In celebration of it, I took two photos of my lovely Bell peppers. For my little crop, the tropical storm was a blessing. The winds helped my bell pepper plants get pollinated. Look at how cute they look. They are simply little darlings. I wish more folks would know the joy of growing tiny little plants. Being a...
