A Meyer lemon blossom newly opened! I'm so excited! One of the owners of Loveland Greenhouse gave this plant to me as a gift and said to treat it like a ficus. It recently started budding and now one of the creamy white blossoms has opened. The scent is heavenly!

Seriously, what in the world is this?!! *

Home is where the kitties live! so cute how Oliver is snuggling this felt pillow! (I can even forget how later, painstakingly, I will have to remove that white fur.)

These cute little owls covered the door of a first grade classroom when I visited my goddaughter during a school open house.

as seen through a window in my house. I love the shape and texture of bare branches silhouetted against the sky.
* My guess was that it is some type of fungus. I googled "red mulch fungus" and got an answer. It's a stinkhorn--Phallus rubicundus.
