One of my family friends just moved and cleared out a bunch of old plants along the side of the house. Low and behold, they're all Bougainvillea.

They're just stumps right now, but I'll know in about a month if they're gonna take hold. IMG_20190103_123314.jpgIMG_20190103_164836_717.jpgIMG_20190103_145233_982.jpg00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20190103143302744.jpg

Thanks i definitely will! There's a pretty good chance the smaller one will take, it was very lose in the ground and it already seems to be enjoying its new found stability. The large one is anybodies guess, if it gets too cold I might lose it so I'm going to try and get a heating pad just in case winter comes for us in south Florida one day.

I have a pair of heavy leather hiking boots, that I bought for hiking, not working in. I did wear them to cut up a tree that dropped. I now have a leak in my boots, right about where my right little toe is. Thank the gods the leather stopped the saw. I still have 10 toes. Protective eyewear is a good idea too. Without getting too crazy about it.

Leaky boots is okay, I still have by toes.
