Things I Like #7

Once again, in a post inspired by, or stolen from, Mistress Maddie, here are some things I like that are around the house.

The sunroom, while the spot where the cats sun themselves and the dog sleeps at night, is mostly Carlos’ domain because he’s the Green Thumb in the family. While I’m good at gardening in the yard, pruning, planting, weeding, trimming and mowing, house plants tens to, um, die, around me.

So, this is one of my favorite spots in the house with plants Carlos has cultivated for years … like the Bonsai that we bought in Miami fifteen years ago; it’s doing splendidly in Smallville. 

Carlos also does quite well with roses, this one on the back deck just started blooming again.

The monkey? Carlos loves all things monkey and once tried to persuade to buy a chandelier that was about eight feet  across and nothing but monkeys holding lights. Seriously.

Oh, and an appearance by The Great Tuxedo, who saw a camera and struck a pose.
