Hi Steemit!

This garden angel sculpture has been with me since I bought my first home in 2004. It was the first thing I got for my garden then.

Here it is in an old photograph taken of the angel in my first home. Gosh, the roses were so beautiful! I regretted selling that house. Oh well, we all have to move on to better things!. https://images.hive.blog/DQmeL7nG1G4MUecAV3xSA1WSHv9VaRtX2KncxqQLMis868Z/Lady&Angel1.jpg

I have potted succulents in the corner of my tiny front courtyard. The weather around here can be very hot and dry during summers, I find that succulents survive very well on this corner.

A common succulent, this is a Jade Plant. My Mom called it "money plant", and she insisted on planting them all over the front garden of our home. Growing up so used to seeing Jade Plants, I had to have them on the front courtyard of my home too!

If I want to follow my mommie's footsteps, I need to propagate the money plant so that I could populate the entire front courtyard, right?

These are all Jade plants, but the one in front of the photo below is a Hobbit Jade Plant, which my Mom called "Gumby".

This next one is a small-leaved succulent plant Elephant Bush, and Mommie referred to this plant as "Dwarf".

I love this next succulent that has wavy, paddle-like leaves of silvery blue, and it is called "Blue Dude".

I guess what I really want to share with you this beautiful and sublime Sunday is the fact that I am missing family.

I miss being surrounded by family... my two brothers, my Dad, and most especially my Mommie.

I know that they are all looking down on me from heaven.

And I know that my Mommie must be so proud of me that I carried on her love for succulents even if it is just in a small portion of my front yard.
