Good News

There are LOTS of signs of Spring around lately which is very good news for me and everyone else who just survived the super snowy last few months. (It actually wasn't that bad for me since I don't drive, but I got really sick of wearing my boots!) I saw these little white flowers at the mall:
And this beautiful pink tree on Beacon Hill:I just love it when the pansies come out:Purple is my favorite, of course. I think the leaves will be coming out soon:I always want to say, "buuuuuud" like Rudy Huxtable when I see them, but I'm not allowed to around Rafael anymore. I said it too many times one night. oops. :(
This place has lots of daffodils:As you know, the frogs come out in the Spring too (I think?):And so do the dinosaurs:HAHAHAHAHHAAA! Now for a few funny photos. This part is not funny: One of the "Make Way for Ducklings" ducklings was stolen out of the Public Garden a few weeks ago. I think they found it, but it's not back in the park yet. Now for the funny part: We went by today and a golden doodle was sitting in the missing duckling's spot!Can you imagine anything cuter?!?!?! I just love those guys. And last but not least, this came in the mail the other day:(OMG!!!) Have a lovely day everyone!

Love, Girlfriend :)

Savannah Squares

As you may know, Savannah is a city organized around many squares. They are beautiful little parks and we went on a long walk to all of them! We started at Forsyth Park, which is actually not a square, but it is really nice and has the famous fountain: It also has lots of beautiful plants and paths lined with live oaks. There was a chess/checker board is one of the paths:Cool, right? Thank you Raf for the lovely posing! Then we continued on to the squares. Some of them had really beautiful flowers which I was excited to see since it's still going be a long time until we have blooming here:

Unfortunately, I don't remember which square was which because we saw so many! I'm only including photos of a few. Some of them had really cool fountains:
The squares really make Savannah a beautiful city. I kept telling Raf, "It even smells good here!" I think it was all of the plants. I hope you're enjoying all of my Savannah posts. As you can probably tell, I REALLY loved Savannah! Stay tuned for more!

Terrariums

I think terrariums are super cool and cute. These are all for sale on Etsy.

I like the little decorations people put in them!

I think this one could go in Amelie's apartment:Some are made with succulents:I love succulents! Isn't that little peep cute?I want to try making one. I know where I could get moss (Mom :) ), but where could I get cute little houses and animals and mushrooms?

Muqueca

Muqueca is a Brazilian restaurant in Inman Square. It's one of my favorite places to eat. The food is amazing. Rafael and I ate there on a weeknight a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it was dark so I didn't get a great photo of the outside.

The inside is warm and cozy. It was a weeknight so it wasn't busy, but on weekends it's hard to get a table.We had fried yucca. We loved it. I also had a beautiful blueberry and papaya smoothie called "Passion Blue."For dinner we had fish Moqueca. It's a simple stew made with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and fish. It's light and full of flavor. It's one of my favorite things to eat.We also had fried plantains that were delicious. Raf and I never miss an opportunity to eat fried plantains. :)They people who work there are very sweet. They gave me this cute magnet which I was very happy about because I have a magnet collection:

The next day I did a lot of indoor gardening. :)

String of Pearls

I love succulents and I think this string of pearls plant is really cool. Do you remember this picture from this post? It's been doing a lot of growing which is so exciting to me! Look at how long it is now!Unfortunately, I'm never home at the time of day with the nice sunlight like the first picture this time of year, but I really wanted to show you how much it grew! So cool!

Curly Spider Plants

I'm very happy that my curly spider plants are growing up! You may remember their baby pictures from here and here. I hope they continue to grow and get big and curly. I love it when my plants are happy! :)

Curly Spider Plants Update

I planted the baby curly spider plants. I hope they're happy.
Now grow dudes!

I also put this wild plant in a new pot because the wind knocked it over and it fell out of it's old pot:

I like the leaves. I hope it gets big.

Baby Curly Spider Plants

Sarah gave me these baby curly spider plants from her big plant! They're so cute! I hope they grow up and have their own babies. :)
Thanks Sarah!

New Plants

Mom, Rafael, and I had a fun shopping trip today. I'm so excited about the new plants I got! I bought five mini succulents at Lowes and managed to squish them all into one planter. I hope they'll be happy in there. I love succulents, especially when they're combined.
I also love ferns, although I don't usually have very good luck with them. This one has cute circular leaves. I think it looks very pretty in the bedroom with the beautiful beaded flowers Grandma made me.
I also got a mini Boston fern and a Coleus. The Coleus is from the gas station nursery (that's not the real name, I just don't know what it is) in Union Square. It was fun to go there because there was so much to see. I've never been anywhere so densely packed with plants! I didn't take any photos, but I wish I had because it looks really cool. These hens and chickens are also from the gas station nursery. So cute!

I'm running out of space for plants!
