I noticed what I thought was an aloe plant in that Christmas light display video you posted. The decorated desert plants were an unexpected surprise for me!<br /><br />Happy New Year to you too! :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-60365259508574046142014-12-31T10:54:39.016-06:002014-12-31T10:54:39.016-06:00Beautiful!

I might have even thought these were the only domes, except Alison pointed me to The Eden Project. The Domes are a neat way to house tropical and desert environments that you just can't find otherwise in Wisconsin. People might grow tropical plants or a cactus in a pot here, but to see this many tropical/desert plants in winter is a real treat. <br /><br />Thanks! I like to visit as many unique places as possible. There are all kinds of different places and events to see around here once you start looking! Searching out these things is a fun way to stay entertained.<br /><br />Thank you for the kind Christmas wishes! I wish you good health and fortune in the New Year as well! :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-75836379532100098912014-12-29T20:52:32.929-06:002014-12-29T20:52:32.929-06:00Belated Merry Christmas Justine!

There's a comparison with the dome shapes, the rainforest climate, and the Christmas theme. It looks like there are some neat Christmas activities held here. I'm watching videos on their YouTube channel now. It looks really cool in there at night! Do you go there a lot? A belated Merry Christmas to you too! :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-62539840658633071132014-12-28T13:30:14.330-06:002014-12-28T13:30:14.330-06:00Beautiful photos.

Were you living in Milwaukee as a kid? I don't know why, but I thought I remembered you saying you grew up in Illinois.

It's nice to have a little snow on the ground at this time, but I'm not really complaining. It's a lot easier to not have to shovel or drive through the stuff. We usually get a lot of snow! Thanks, I hope I feel better soon too. Yeah, I had to get a picture with Santa Frog. :) It's been fun having him dressed up and sitting around through another holiday.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-758681723990781292014-12-26T14:10:10.974-06:002014-12-26T14:10:10.974-06:00Dr. Theda ~ Glad you enjoyed these Christmas photo...Dr. Theda ~ Glad you enjoyed these Christmas photos.
