Our garden and Cat

So i was talking to Kelly the other day and she was saying that it's hard for her to visualize where i live. so i proceeded to take some pictures of my plants and Sweetpea who was lounging in the sunshine. i hope you all will get more of an idea about my living situation. enjoy!

This is our quaint little porch where we hang out. It's decked out with lots of wind chimes and a cool lantern for the evenings. The jasmine bush is right in front of it so it smells great in the winter.
These are my new birds-of-paradise. In the past i haven't been much for gardening but i realized that everything grows here like crazy (and without too much work on my part) so i planted these about a month and a half ago and voila! they are already blooming! My success here inspired me to plant an herb garden as well. The basil and chili peppers and celery seed are already sprouting.

Sweetpea caught in her characteristic noisy-face. She is constantly meowing and at first i thought it was annoying but now it's a bit endearing. I've figured out what all the different meows mean. She loves hanging out in the garden and climbing the mango trees. However i caught her biting this cactus-like plant the other day. Not sure what she was thinking.


Love this picture! It's got a good composition i think. Anyways, the purple flowers are orchids from a plant that Otto gave me on Valentine's day last year. They are gorgeous. The other orchids should be blossoming soon...


More Sweetpea. She has this jingle bell collar which is pretty cute and she's always looking at invisible things. Possibly, she sees ghosts?

Haha! This car is so classic! So this is the Otto-mobile or "Dottie" Datsun as we like to call her. Otto's friend gave him this car (it's the one we had to drive up from Bangkok) and it is constantly needing repairs. However, we look like we're in Dazed and Confused driving around. It is totally our style.
