Sunday 8-28

Three new planters. The first two pots contain trailing jade(bottom), and 'elephant plant'(top). The second picture contains a type of Euphorbia trigona known as 'Royal Red'. The third pot is another addition to our aloe collection. It contains an aloe marlothii (bottom left), aloe variegata a.k.a 'partridge breast' (top left), and aloe 'California'. I think I have developed an addiction to aloes. There are over two hundred varieties of aloe (that I know of). I don't think that I will have room for all of them. ;).......It was my birthday yesterday. Yup. Twenty-seven. It was a good b-day. It was a good weekend. We took Cathrine to the lake today. She had a great time watching the boats and playing in the water...... There is a hurricane on the way. 'Katrina' looks like it will be a nasty storm. It's bearing down on New Orleans, With a path projected right through north Georgia on late Monday. We really don't need any more rain! This was one of the wettest July's on record. August wasn't much better. Oh well at least we don't live in Louisiana. Hopefully it will weaken before impact. It is currently at cat5 which will be devastating for that area of Louisiana.....
