We can tell that Summer has finally arrived in New England, when the temperatures up here exceed those in Florida!
North heat beats South
Silk Floss Tree seedlings
One visit to Epcot earlier this year, there was fluffy cotton wool everywhere around a tree which was covered in spikes which we later learned was a Silk Floss Tree named because of the look of the opened seed pods. Margaret collected a few seeds, planted them here, and they have begun to grow!
No idea how quick they grow or what weather they like – but if they grow like the ones at Epcot, they won’t stay on the kitchen counter for long!

The end at Disney
I took this video of the end of Epcot fireworks last week, but it seems appropriate to link to it now, as Margaret and I head back North at the end of our “long vacation” in Florida …
And of course, Chloe travels back north with us:
