Karen...are those tats real or henna? How cool is that?

Jim..I have the same exact Plumerias in my front yard except the weather is not hot enought yet to know it. The branches are still twigs..not even a single leaf. In your part of the world, do your Plumerias lose all the leaves in fall/winter or do they bloom all year long? They are so pretty! Have you taken a branch off and rooted any yet just for fun? It is easier than I thought.

Hi Christie, I presume you are talking about the flowers that I posted. Here in Aus they are called Frangipani and yes they are starting to drop all their leaves. They get bare all through winter and start to get leaves again about September. Very messy when they drop those leaves. Thankfully that one is not quite in my yard but I do get some of the leaves.
Yeah, they are very easy to grow, just snap a branch off and poke it in the ground and away it goes.

Yes Christie, they are real. The girls did that as a show of support and understanding of all that we go through on a daily basis and also to be able to "spread the word" when people ask.

Jim, the flowers are beautiful! I am starting to get some blooms in my yard now, maybe this week-end I can post some flower pics.

my pic

Let's see if this works.

Nice pic Jay.
Won't open in Firefox though. I had to switch to that dreaded IE to see it.

yeah I usually have to do a temp allow with firefox in order to see pics or videos that friends send me.

Holey moley Karen, those are real!! Wow, thank them for me for their commitment to raising AS awareness. I'm speechless.

Wow!!! REALLY KAREN!

HEY SAA...THESE LADIES DESERVE SOME SORT OF OFFICIAL RECOGINITION. I HOPE TO READ ABOUT THEM IN THE NEXT ISSUE OF THE SPONDYLITYS PLUS MAGAZINE.

I had a day out today at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens. It is rare that I go anywhere but doctors appointments these days so I really enjoyed the day.
It is a lovely place and it was wonderful to see so many families there having picnics or just sitting on the grass. Really peaceful place even though it is right next to a freeway.

Jim, thanks for sharing your day and pictures with us. The pictures are beautiful, and it looks like a wonderful place to visit.I know what you mean about only getting out to go to Dr. appointments. Hopefully you'll be able to visit the Gardens again soon!
