MY SUNROOM

I remember when my parents moved into their new home after I had gotten married.  The kitchen was so large.  The wonderful thing about it, was the bar.  It even had a soda fountain, that had the ice cream, fixings and even the soda pumps.  It really was amazing.  My Daddy owned "ICEE OF WEST TEXAS" at that time.  So he made his own syrup.  At that time, I was sort of jealous.  Why, now?  Why not, when I was living at home?  Oh, well.

Now I know you are probably wondering what this has to do with my title of my blog?  Right!  Well,  you see, my Mother thought that she would love the bar, except as time went by, she began to despise that bar.  WHY?  Well, because everything that came into the house seemed to find it's way to the bar.  She was always fussing about people putting their stuff on the bar instead of putting it where it belonged.

This is exactly what happens to my Sun room!  So the other day, I decided that I was going to take matters into my own hands.  Trust me, when I say this, my family really doesn't appreciate when I do this.  Because, by this time, I figure if it has been setting there for a while, then you really don't need it.  So the back of my car is rather full.  I have noticed that my Tommy, has been checking out the stuff  and has actually taken some things out.  But has it made its way back to the Sun room?  No!

So now I will share some pictures with you of my succulents.  We do have a pool table in the room.  Does it get played often?  NO!  And if I had my way about it, it would be gone.  I really have no use for things that are not used.  That is unless it is books!  I do leave my Tommy's office alone.  In fact, he told me the other day, that the only room that he sneezes in, is his office.  I told him, I wonder why?  It is because you don't clean it.  When I go in and have cleaned, he fusses, because, then he can't find anything.  So the last time, I decided that his office is his domain.

LIZARDS AND HINDU ROPE FLOWERS

Today, when I went out to water my succulents on the front porch, I was surprised to see a baby lizard sitting on my "Coral Cactus".

I almost missed him, because he blended in with the color so well.  So of course, I had to go and grab my camera and take pictures of him.  I guess that is is a him!

I also wanted to share some of the pictures that I had taken for "my Hindu Rope".  The first one I found, it seemed forever to make blossoms, but then I found another one.  Now this one was a little larger and it has grown so many blossoms that My Mandy, is sure that I give them steroids.  I really only place them out in the sun and let the grow.  I even bought food for them in San Antonio over the summer and have yet to open the jar.  I know, I am bad.




I suppose I need to do some research and find out if I need to place them in a larger pot or let them stay as they are.  I am thinking that if I place them in a larger hanging basket, I might just combine both of them in 
one.  We will see.

How Did I Come Up With The Name?

When my daughter, Mandy decided that she was going to do a blog about her succulents, well, you know I could not sit by and let her do one without me.  My Mandy was telling me that her daughters always called the "living stones" baby butts.  So I decided that my blog would be called baby butts and little toes succulents.  I added the succulents, because I did not want anyone to think that my blog was NASTY!  My daughter has shown me how much fun the succulents are and how peaceful working with them can be. She just didn't tell me that when I go to visit her, that I would find myself stopping  at the Lowe's and Home Depot's to find a restroom.  It is amazing how much fun it is to stop for restroom breaks!!!!
