I just got down taking a stroll around my place , ignore the date on the photo . I keep forgetting to reset the date when we change batteries .
Something to warm you up with , a succulent with the common name of " firesticks " .
For my friends in the frozen east and northlands .
Outside my front door today

Hi Stelco , I hope that you are packing some brandy with you ? I also understand that you joined a new wildlife garden forum but you are under a different name . what are you calling yourself there ?
For anyone else interested reading this there is a new wildlife gardening forum at ;
http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/index.php
It appears to have a wide range of topics centered around wildlife gardening , looks promising .
I always pack some brandy, strictly for medicinal purposes!
One of my favorite pastimes is fishing on Lake Michigan, so you will find me in many places known as fishlkmich.
Hope to see you over there. I assume that you will be keeping the same "handle". Yes?
brrrrrrr Stelco!
Yep, always the " LONE DIVER " , he dives again ! ( Am I hitting a new "low " ? )
lonediver, what kind of passiflora is that? I have a cold-hardy variety of P. foetida...looks a bit like that!
