INVASION!!!

Our house is being invaded by creepy crawly things! We came home one night and there were a couple of tiny little frogs, or toads hopping around our kitchen floor. Then we looked in our sink and there was a slug leaving it's slime all over the place. What's going on?! And of course, we have humongous cockroaches and geckos, but those are normal. We have never seen frogs or slugs inside our house though! We think it must have something to do with our screens, so hopefully the problem will end when we get them fixed.

This is a picture Heather took of our wonderful sunsets. We do have fabulous lighting here and we like to be out at sunset time to take advantage of the wonder.
This is our new water feature! Instead of having Heather build me one (costly and time consuming) we found one we liked ready made on on a great sale. I love to sit on the lanai now! It's very relaxing and rejuvenating.
Heather's last task here was to help us transplant this big tree. It was quite a hassle to get the tree in the first place and cost more than I ever thought I would pay. It is a plumeria pudica and is supposed to have a lollipop look to it, with a profusion of white flowers up top. Well, it got a little overpruned and went into shock so we now call it our "faith" tree. We have faith that it will perk up and look beautiful one day.
This is the small version of the tree that I originally bought. It is doing well, but will take about 5 years or more to reach the height I was hoping for. Isn't landscaping fun?
