I have learned what this vegetable is!

It is called Bac Ha (in Vietnam)  or  Colocasia gigantea (also called giant elephant ear or Indian taro) (thanks Wikipedia!) It is the stem of the plant anyway. It is used as a vegetable in soups and things.

Hope you have a good night!

We went apartment hunting today. We have over a month to find a new place, I really didn't want to have to move again so soon, but our rent was raised a considerable amount, so it is time to find a new place.....

Here are some white flowers from one of the properties.

We also visited one that was still under construction. It was a little out of our price range, but we went on the tour anyway because we got to wear hardhats!

Worst photo of me!

Hope you have a good night!

Today marks a great day in history, I finally got my Oregon license plates!!

The Saga that started late JANUARY has finally come to an end. And I was #5 at the DMV this morning!

Yes, I had to go back to the DMV to get my plates, why you might ask.... I am not sure, but somehow the plates the DMV originally sent me never actually made it to me.... why? Who knows, I am banking on the mailman hates us, because our rent bill never came either..... oh well, that is all done for two years....

So I tried.... the key word is tried.... to do some macros and close ups of the blue frogs.... I will have to try again.... I need more light.

It was vitamin night, that is why the fruit flies are all white and powdery.

Awwww! Look at her toes!

See ya Washington plates!

Hope you have a great night!

Grouchy Pants molted! This is the closest anyone can get to Grouchy Pants with out her getting really grouchy.  Her hairs are surprisingly soft. I think she would be quite pleasant to pet if she didn't hate everyone. Don't look at this blog post if you don't like spiders. (NOT an April Fools).

Look at those toenails!

The bottoms of her feet grab hold and give her traction.

Here she is in her new skin! Her red hairs are incredibly vibrant. This photograph doesn't even begin to show how pretty she is.

Have a good night. I hope I didn't give anyone nightmares.
