Green Bungalow Craftworks

I think the one house project I am most proud of would be these cabinets in the kitchen. Mom and I labored over these for months, but I think it was well worth it. I should also tell you that I absolutely couldn’t have done this with out her. Thanks, mom!

My kitchen in September of 2003.

Hybrid Portulaca

This is the heather plant that I bought this spring. It was so pretty, with white flowers. I kept it watered, and I’ve read that heather likes full sun, so I made sure it was in the sun most of the day. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to plant it right away, so by the time I got to put it in the ground, it looked like this: So, my question is: does heather go dormant after it flowers, or is this thing dead?
