Finally decided upon a hose attachment, and it’s certainly hot enough! No takers yesterday (it’s actually Friday), but hopefully someone will want a shower soon!

Blooms on my well-travelled hardy fuchsia. Plants look okay so far, and I do think they’ve grown a little. Fingers crossed that they’ll survive the winter! My rosemallow is going to bloom in spite of the best efforts on the part of approximately five million hibiscus sawfly larvae. I bought BT last week…eat that, you […]

Didn’t do jack this weekend because of stupid Balon Fesk, but… Blooms on the Cliffie bush. Not great blooms, and not a lot of them, but considering Tree Dude STILL hasn’t showed up (couple of rain days last week, so I’m not quite ready to beat him with a flip-flop) and the poor thing doesn’t […]

Technically Thursday morning, but I didn’t get these up yesterday because I cleaned Dennis’ new house. Only bloom on the Cliffie Bush, taken Tuesday, but the only shot from that day because I was afterward accosted by that horrible woman next door. Charming! My bathroom Dieffenbachia ‘Camille’, and I think the other one is ‘Sparkle’ […]

Just because it’s pretty. Silly creeping phlox–it’s not spring! Made a friend.

It’s 0740h, so most of these are last night, but my post from yesterday was getting awfully long. My new grass got mowed for the first time! Lots of weeds in it, but I’m actually going to leave them because their roots are deeper and I don’t want everything to erode. This was a fuck-ton […]

Lots of flower photos today; the rain did a lot of good. Kinda mashed my cosmos, sorta mashed my Mexican sunflower and zinnia,  but we needed it. Still not red, but pretty. 544’s cardinal climber! More of the deep purple ones. Oak-leaf morning glory. Damn pretty weed! One of the two pink agastache. I dont […]

Finally, we got some goddamned RAIN! Not enough, but it’s supposed to rain tomorrow, too, so hopefully it’ll soak everything deeply enough. Anyway,  since morning is the only good time to photograph morning glory… After work: Thank Christ for C’s marigolds. Without them, I’d have some serious bare spots in the Honeysuckle Horseshoe! Finally! A […]

It’s Wednesday.  Sue me. I actually took a few of these this morning and a couple this evening. Whatever. 🙂 Globe gilia did bloom eventually (a few of them, at least), but I’m really not all that impressed. I somehow thought the blooms would be larger.   This is the canna lily on Tuesday morning. […]

It’s actually Monday, but the air broke on Saturday afternoon,  so I was too hot to give a rat’s arse yesterday. Cute little Crescent (I can’t tell Northern and Pearl apart). EDIT: Apparently, I also can’t tell those two from the Silvery Checkerspot in the picture! ‘Soulmate’ really does smell like vanilla! Air is fixed […]
