Divide and conquer in the garden

In April 2012 I bought two pots of these colorful foliage plants. I wish I could remember the name of the plant right now but I can’t…Anyhoo, at that time I divided the two full pots into about 15 or so plants. They’ve had all summer to grow and multiply so today I divided three of the established plants and now have a total of 24. Tomorrow I’m gonna divide more into the other garden. What a deal. 🙂

See the larger plant. In the back? I have many more outside of photo range that are my future dividing targets.

Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds at Clearwater Jazzfest

I spent today in Clearwater with thousands of my friends. Not really my friends but we all had something in common. We were there to enjoy the music. I also wanted to try and relax a bit.
It was a beautiful, sunny day. Not a cloud in the sky. I could have used a few clouds or an umbrella but with the bullfrog and hat, I survived.
The sun started going down around the same time this fabulous band, took the stage. I saw SS about 18 months ago or so at Skipper’s Smokehouse. They opened for another famous band but after seeing them rock the stage, I left after the headliner played a few songs. I couldn’t wait to get the CD into the car player.
I’ve been following SS ever since and have promoted them to everyone I think would enjoy their sound and energy. Yes, I did miss the Tampa show two weeks ago but dang, it was day 3 of my surgery and I wasn’t leaving the house.
They continue to be one of my favorite bands and their music is in constant rotation on my ipods and Pandora, yes, I created a Sister Sparrow Channel.

It’s a family affair. That’s her cousin on drums. So much talent in this band.

too bad blogger’s new and improved software still doesn’t give you the option of rotating a photo… above is her brother and he can play the harp. boy, can he play the harp! Below are more of the dirty birds.
