Albert Einstein once wrote that "if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

A caterpillar left this on our storage door. The bright dot was gold, and it sure looked like a rolled up leaf.

It mysteriously disappeared way before it should have hatched (we have active little boys next door).

Panama

Next, we took a vacation over Semana Santa to Bocas del Toro, Panama where we enjoyed snorkeling a little and riding around in a boat and seeing dolphins and beautiful clean beaches and this wierd gourd tree.

This is the other half of the after, although the plants have already grown a lot so it is even brighter. Since we see this all day any time we're in the living, dining or kitchen it is a worthwhile project! It doesn't get much sun only for a few minutes a day, so can't support many flowers, just plants that like shade.

We both enjoy this little garden a bunch.

I forgot to put the before first

Home again

After getting home and finally getting rested, the first thing to tackle was the living-dining room length "garden".
