TGIF

I looked out yesterday afternoon and there was Jack, sprawled out IN the planter back by the hot tub where we have placed the star jasmine Jill gave us. He seems to have adopted this spot as his look out for guard duty. Not sure what he is going to do when the jasmine grows through the trellis and fills out in the back but thought it was funny.

The roses are in bloom. This was one of two batches I harvested yesterday. These sit next to our bed and the others are on the pass through bar between the kitchen and our dinning room...delish!

When two of the amaryllis bulbs did not grow and flower during the holidays, I just let them simmer in their pots. One has come full bloom. This is the peppermint stripe that we bought two years ago and is a lovely burst of color out on the lanai.

Enjoy your weekend. We have Janet and Bob coming for a short visit tomorrow through Sunday. Bob has not had the 25cent tour of Tarpon Springs so we'll head out to Miss Vicky's on the Anclote River for lunch and then tour the town. E is cooking Greek for the four of us Sat. night and Sunday, Janet and I are meeting up with the Kipster at Ruban Rouge...probably get a bite to eat before Janet and Boby have to get going to a wedding near the park where the Crawfish Festival was held last weekend. It will be good to see them, as always.
