  2. The Plumeria is vibrant and beautiful, Terri! The scooter is a great idea for getting around and much better than crutches. I can’t handle the heat either and would rather pile on layers of clothes to stay warm.

    • Thanks, Eugi! I bought a set of 4 plumeria from Hawaii in 2019. Only two bloomed. The pink was a very healthy plant. The yellow one didn’t bloom until I rehomed both to San Diego. I was lucky to enjoy them while I had them. And, yes, easier to bundle up to keep warm. I don’t like heat. Isnt where you live humid, too? Ugh.

  6. The Plumeria is pretty. I had to Google it to read about it as I’ve not seen it here – too cold unless you overwintered it in a warm place. We went to Florida years ago and were visiting friends who had Oleanders and my father bought one to bring home. Our friends said “they won’t last – they’re too tropical” and sure enough they were right. I can’t think of anything I was doing five years ago. I’m sure you are glad to put the foot surgery and knee scooter behind you Terri.

    • Plumeria shouldn’t grow in Sacramento but it’s warm enough there for 9 months. They did well in pots that I brought in in the winter. Once we decided to move to Washington, I rehomed them to my daughter in San Diego. Plumeria thrive there.

      • Your daughter lucked out then – they were beautiful Terri. Speaking of Washington, I hope you were unscathed by the earthquake about an hour ago. I guess it hit parts of Washington and Vancouver Island – hope it was not close to Wayne either.

      • OK, I should have realized that Terri, but glad you were not affected. I did think Wayne might be affected since Vancouver Island was affected. This hot weather – wow. We had torrential rain all day yesterday. I had three inches of rain, no flooding, but I figured every park would be soggy or water on the asphalt walking paths. A waste of a sunny day, though it is 80 and 98% humidity – ugh. Luckily Council Point Park’s Creek is far below the walking path.

  10. Hi, Terri – Im not sure what I was doing 5 years ago today. But, 10 years ago today I was on a Home Exchange in Vancouver, 13 years ago I met up with some Australian friends in Las Vegas and 14 years ago today Richard and I were on our first Camino from Tui, Portugual to Santiago de Compostela.

    I’m glad that you have recovered so well. Stay cool!
