Floating Homes

 Floating Homes of the Future  This is from an articles in Forbes magazine about homes of the future. I have always thought that living on a houseboat would be wonderful. The link leads to the rest of the houses but these two were my favorites.  They use solar and wave electricity for power. The second one, the lower floor would be under the water- how really cool is that!

Part of the fun of a new home is to see what comes up and blooms as the seasons change. This butterfly bush just grew and grew until it was above the window..now it pushing at the roof overhang. It is very popular with the bees, butterflies and even a few hummingbirds. Nature keeps me amused.
