1) Don't know how I missed this pepper when I was picking my 'crop' the other day!!
2 & 3) I forgot to fix picture 2 which has Lori on the top and her kid Leonard on the bottom while in #3 is Larry the father/husband! They are their every time I go over to John's apartment!
#4) There is a tree right outside my window that every once in awhile pops up with a mysterious orchid no rhyme or reason. Mother Nature at work.
And then there are my Geraniums all in full bloom with more blooms ready to open in 4 different colors.
We had a 'feel like' temperature yesterday and then the rains came and it dropped down to a 'low' of 79 and right now the storm clouds are gathering and the wind is increasing so it should get a little 'cooler' shortly!
Summer in Fort Laudedale!

The numbers are so messed up they really have no idea what is going on but still having many positive tests but a few less dying.

There is no rhyme or reason to Mother Nature--including the weather!!

You have a lovely indoor garden. Our weather continues hot and humid. I lost two weeks due to no Internet in August and catching up is hell. I have these little tiny lizards that come into my apartment and jump around my walls.

Lizards are good--they eat up all the insects!!

@GreatMartin awww how sweet that is nice to hear. I would never do that to you because I do love you since we also have some ties to NYC and I always love hearing about what you've been up to

Geraniums are a really colorful flower. I've planted them myself and they really add to my garden. Nothing like home grown peppers. I've planted them several times both red and green and they are very tasty

Orchids, oh my! What a treasure to be mixed in with your peppers and lizards. And a mysterious orchid. Would love some of those. Never have luck with the not so mysterious ones. 
Rain all day here and now thunder and lightning added to the mix.

Looks nice buddy, you are right about mother nature, we had a weed that turned into a tree and we constantly cutting it down because its right next to are garage and if grows the way it wants will destroy our garage roof. Damn thing does not get watered or anything and a week or two later it is fool bloom again, at least in summer, in fall it does not grow any plants. Its the craziest weed I have ever seen.

No scent but they do transfer their color to hands, floors, etc!
