Fish Out of Water

Musings and observations about life from an East Coast native now living on the Left Coast in the California State Capitol since 2004. This fish has made her home in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); and Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Mahalo Moment: Patio Flowers

Two of our patio plants sprouted small blossoms recently, including the Mosquito Plant (top photo), which neither of us remembered as having flowers in the past! It's a member of the geranium family and gives off a citronella scent, which in theory helps to ward off the mosquitoes.


I can't remember the name of the other plant (bottom photo), but it was looking VERY scraggly and unhealthy, so seeing the blooms emerge was definitely a lovely surprise!
