It is a lovely Sunday afternoon here in California.
Being "sheltered-in-place" and confined within the perimeter of my home, it can be lonely.
Without having to dig up old photos of my past travels (hmmm.... that is not a bad idea at all, I will show you my trip to Venice next Sunday!), let me share the deep blue sky above me...
and what is below me!
This garden angel sculpture has been with me since I bought my first home in 2004.
I have potted succulents in the corner of my tiny front courtyard. The weather around here can be very hot and dry during summers, I find that succulents survive very well on this corner.
A common succulent, this is a Jade Plant. My Mom called it "money plant", and she insisted on planting them all over the front garden of our home. Growing up so used to seeing Jade Plants, I had to have them on the front courtyard of my home too!
If I want to follow my mommie's footsteps, I need to propagate the money plant so that I could populate the entire front courtyard, right?
These are all Jade plants, but the one in front of the photo below is a Hobbit Jade Plant, which my Mom called "Gumby".
This next one is a small-leaved succulent plant Elephant Bush, and Mommie referred to this plant as "Dwarf".
I love this next succulent that has wavy, paddle-like leaves of silvery blue, and it is called "Blue Dude".
I can take more photos but I want to be respectful of your time. And I know that it can be cumbersome to get be scrolling down numerous photos. It can be an overkill, at times.
I guess what I really want to share with you this beautiful and sublime Sunday is the fact that I am missing family.
I miss being surrounded by family... my two brothers, my Dad, and most especially my Mommie.
I know that they are all looking down on me from heaven.
And I know that my Mommie must be so proud of me that I carried on her love for succulents even if it is just in a small portion of my tiny front yard.
Thank you for viewing this article. I post an article daily, and I hope to see you again soon! @silversaver888
