Thanks Cee for hosting this challenge and readers for visiting my blog! Appreciate you all. Have a great start to August.
sing like wildflowers
My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Gorgeous 😀
Thank you! This is one of my favorite plants. I hope it keeps growing healthy like this. 😃
Love what you do with a camera!

Fran, thank you for your encouragement!! 😃🤩
It looks healthy and always handy to have if you get a burn (or sunburn).
Aloe is a wonderful plant with versatile uses: sunburn, scalp benefits of rubbing gel on it, cuts, small burns, etc.
It’s growing so well that I’m nervous I’ll do something wrong and kill it.
It needs a bigger pot!!
Natural benefits – that’s good, you have the green thumb you always wanted. I have no green thumb with inside plants.
Linda, that’s giving me too much credit. Me? Green thumb? More like aspiring green thumb. This summer has been successful with my plants, but I’ve killed a few here and there. So far, the remaining ones are doing great.
My pepper and jalapeno plants are alive but no peppers. That should be my new goal for next year….keep alive and grow vegetables that we can eat. lol
Well, you can always blame your lack of peppers on the weather … heat, lack of water or smoke. Blame Mother Nature. 🙂
I like that reasoning! 😜😎 yes, it was all those reasons.
