Goings on about town

What's the normal life expectancy of a blog? 2 - 3 years? Has this blog stumbled into it's final chapters?

We've had some sunny, hot days and a few nice bouts of rain. Still have to supplement water for the bamboo and orange. Sprayed everyone down on Saturday with MiracleGro (I have3gal sprayer). It rained the next day, hopefully it was on long enough to be ingested.

Not much to report, the bougainvillea are always coming in and out of bloom. The potato tree, stephanotis and the jasmine are all in bloom. The pandora vine, after putting up a fine display of flowers has gone to seed (pods) which I've tried to remove when I see them to try to get her blooming again. It hasn't worked.  The cereus is continuing to try to creep, upside-down, across the ceiling of the portico. As it's arms lengthen, it tends to sag, though the clinging roots earlier set down are quite strong and keep it from falling down.

The trellis delivery has been put off for a day. Now scheduled to arrive on Thursday. There will be a good deal of commotion with the installation.
