2012 Photo Challenge: Week 9

ByKristen Koster

Week Nine of our 365 Photo Challenge!

Spring has definitely sprung here. Which flowers are blooming are changing and I had some wild surprises this week from daffodils I thought were completely dead last year to a lizard taking a dip in the pool. The iceplant is just starting to bloom, soon the hillside will be one giant fuschia patch of buzzing bees. The hill beyond the roses behind the pool is a riot of color as well with the gazanias and the white and purple daisies blooming. Amazing what a different a week or two makes.

Happy Easter, Everyone!

ByKristen Koster

I realized this morning just how much I missed all the fun of holidays that comes with having younger kids now that mine are on the upper side of their teen years. The joy and wonder are not as easy to draw out these days. There’s nothing worse than a jaded teenager, right? Does this…

Ruts Suck

ByKristen Koster

I think my parents messed up when I was born. My middle name should have been ‘procrastination’ instead of what they wrote down on the form at the hospital. Unfortunately, even knowing that the longer something is put off the harder it becomes to start doesn’t seem to prevent me from falling into those same…

Weekly Photo 14/52 for 2013: Birthday Bouquet

ByKristen Koster

Today’s weekly photo post prolongs my birthday celebration from Wednesday. These are the Peruvian lillies my mom sent and DH’s family also sent flowers too so even inside our house looks like Spring now! Hopefully everyone is starting to enjoy a little Spring in their corner of the world, well except for those of you…

Into The Woods

ByKristen Koster

Last night, we took the kids to see “Into the Woods” at the Starlight Theatre here in Balboa Park. We’ve been there several times and I’d never realized there was an outdoor ampitheatre there. Apparently, the theatre has been a San Diego tradition for over 40 years. The seats are darned uncomfortable, but that’s expected….

What Can Writing Teach Us?

ByKristen Koster

This week my accountability group is blogging about what has writing taught us and what we have learned over the years. Last week’s post on what inspired our current WIPs is also part of our How I Write series. I chose today’s photo with a nefarious purpose in mind. See, I don’t really want to…

  1. The Gazania Squared is stunning! Can you give me more info about the plant..? Will it grow here?????

    1. Yvonne, those particular ones are the ‘Daybreak Red Stripe’ variety. I found zone/pH/etc information here: davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/57736/. It looks like you shouldn’t have any problems with them there unless it’s a soil issue as it’s happy in zones 8b-10b. They can be grown from seed, but you might want to check Lowes or Home Depot first.
