Happy Spring!!

...to those of us in the Southern Hemisphere! Here September is the month of flowers, wind, and weddings.


Often when I look at these gorgeous flowers growing on the wall by the front door of the Baby Home/office, I recall buying them in La Cancha, Cochabamba's huge outdoor market. I had always envied Bolivian homes with flowers spilling over the walls that come around houses here. So about 3 years ago this week, with friends Amber and Jose, we sat out to buy some for the new "Casa de Amor". We joked that in maybe 20 years they would be something special to look at, and we would go, "Remember when we were young and naive and bought those 3 puny plants?" But with this climate, within a year they were beautiful and I love them! This picture is actually AFTER a friend came and pruned them back. They bloom year round!
