I have been sitting out on my lanai at night more lately. I take a break from the couch and my phone and I just sit out there watching my plants grow. It’s relaxing.
It isn’t all the way quiet because I’m still running my air conditioner. It’s not hot-hot, like it is in the summer, but I don’t get much cross-breeze at my place, so it can be stuffy.
Ahhhhh….. your living fire…… that looks wonderfully relaxing. 🙂
What is the fuchsia-colored flower? That looks stunning against the green leaves.
Kristi, I couldn’t remember what the plant was called, but I went searching on the internet. It’s a spathoglottis plicata. Apparently, it’s a common landscape plants in tropical climate zones. I got it on impulse from the Walmart garden center, and I have not regretted it. I love the flowers, and apparently, they’re long-blooming.
You are indeed your grandpa’s grandson! He use to sit at the edge of the corn field and listen to the corn grow!
This song came to mind as I read your post about watching your lanai plants growing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u90qRE2F7CM
[I’ve always appreciated Pete Seeger, and just recently read a book that included the “man from Maine” who wrote the song, too.]
Happy listening!
