About Me
Hi! My name is Liza. Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! I'm a Midwestern gal now living in Arizona, after many years of living in and owning a plant care business in New Mexico.
Plants are living, breathing creatures, and if they're indoor plants, they are 100% dependent on human care. They cannot water themselves.
I can beautify your home, office, or patio with plants and flowers. I have 13 years of experience growing plants, and friendships.
Please let me know if you have questions or if you would like help with your plants or garden. You can reach me at lizatheplantlady (at) gmail (dot) com or follow me on Twitter, Lizawheeler7.
All photos are mine unless otherwise noted. All content is also entirely my hard work. If you'd like to use any content or photos, all you have to do is ask. If you take without asking, you are a thief. And thieves suck. So don't suck. We have a deal? Good.

Well, it’s in front of the neighbors, but it’s not often a balloon lands on your street!

Hey! That happens to me, too. One bumped into the house last winter. The dangers of living in a tourist trap, I guess. Great pics. 🙂

That’s pretty funny Kate, to have one bump into your house. The balloonists make me laugh, so they can land anywhere as far as I’m concerned!

It’s not the first time I’ve had a balloon land on my street since I’ve lived in Albuquerque, but it’s the first time it’s happened on this street. Balloons aren’t supposed to be downtown (that means it’s windy and therefore dangerous) so it’s good that the pilot made such an easy and safe land.

Lovely capture. I love being on a balloon, and seeing them dotting the sky. Happy weekend, Lisa.
