For my birthday my mother visited and we went to a plant store to buy some plants to occupy my reasonably sized balcony. These are some of them - along with my new indoor umbrella tree that I bought for myself.

Also - if anyone has any suggestions on how to make clematis climb, please let me know. I really want to create a clematis wall. 🌱😊

This photo would probably have been more fitting to post a few days ago - on July 4th - but that was my birthday, so I was not anywhere near my computer. #BornOnThe4thOfJuly

Anyway, here's a photo I took of the Hoover Dam guardian angel (or what is this thing?) back when I visited in December of 2014.
