The Most Precious....
The most notable and special thing to have happened lately was the birth of William Quenton Gebeau III. Jed, my other sister Dawn and I were able to make it to the hospital in Paradise, CA before the actual birth! I was soooo happy to be able to be there. What precious moments those were. We love you Tara, Quenton and Willy Q (Babalu)!
The Great Paint Booth Project
Jed has been experimenting with different ways to get knocked out from paint fumes while painting bike frames in the garage. So, this year he decided it was time to save our senses (our "shniggitties" - Jed and Tanley language for "noses") and build a booth that would both contain and then expel offending odors away.
Here are some progress pictures and then some of the booth and it's maker in action!

Let's Catch Up!
Whew! The past few weeks have just flown by and so much has been happening so before it becomes embarrassing that we haven't updated in a while I'd better get a move on...
So first, I'll like to start off by saying that while the winter persists, Jeds and my love of all things green has not diminished and we continue to slowly achieve turning this place into a jungle of sorts.
The Paper Whites were a birthday gift from my sister-in-law Shanti (who shares the same affinity towards green things). Thank you Shanti, for my beautiful flowers!
Next is a nice little collage of our challenging and tempermental Gardenia. This is the second of two plants (birthday gifts from Jed). The first of which we thought had aphids and the florist told us she would give us a another an not to waste a minute getting the first one out of the house before infesting other green brethren. So we brought home Gardenia #2. Once again the little tiny bugs appeared out of nowhere! We couldn't believe it! None of our other plants had bugs so this was just getting weird.
To make this long flora story short...we discovered the little creatures were spider mites. Much less destructive apparently and now have fended off two infestations of those "buggers".
As you can see my gardenia blossoms have not dissapointed.
See, some things just really want to bloom!
