I bought 12 pairs of trouser socks in assorted autumn/winter colours (plus the six black pairs I bought a couple of weeks ago), a pair of high boot socks, and a pair of dark brown (almost black) footless tights. Two black sweaters–one hip length and one long–and two scarves. One flowered scarf and one sage […]
I forgot to post these of my hardy fuchsia. This is the one that didn’t get eaten. Pardon the flash; it was getting dark. Even the one that did get eaten is trying to recover. It’s too late in the season for it to do much, but at least the roots are alive (let’s hope […]
I forgot to post this yesterday or the day before, or whichever of the cold, crappy, rainy days that we’ve had for nearly a week, but my toad lilies are starting to bloom. I don’t remember whether I actually bought them at Lowe’s to plant here, or whether I just bought them very close to […]
They came and installed the gutters today. It rained off and on, but they worked in it anyway. I just wish I could find that goddamned key. Anyway, no more rinsing my yard away, and I think that corner won’t stay so wet, though we did discover we have a problem with the roof. Hope […]
May I have a volunteer from the dead Hypoestes plant, please! I was watering the Peperomia when I saw bright green leaves. Then I saw a few pink spots, and realised the flowers on the Hypoestes had gone past their prime even before I quit watering the plant and let the ugly thing die, and […]
It took ages for me to get around to the actual wiring, but I did it, and it works! This will be my “new” keyboard at work. Vintage 95-ish, it was filthy, and had a 5-pin AT connector, but it’s solid. C. gave it to me when we cleaned out the office equipment graveyard. She […]
This is what $11.99 looks like in terms of handmade raw goat’s milk honey and oatmeal soap. If it works for my face, I believe I’ll find a recipe and make my own!
A little taller than usual yesterday after P got home. I was up there to put a second seal on the…vent thingie. I did it with white on Sunday, but P got black because there had been black…tar or something on it originally. I hope the goddamned thing is sealed now; I used nearly all […]
I started last night and just now finished switching out my spring/summer clothes and shoes for my fall/winter ones. A task I utterly abhor, and P has to haul the totes back and forth to the garage because I can barely lift most of them and have to drag others because I can’t lift them […]
Actually took this one yesterday, but damn, Penstemon ‘Red Rocks’ is a trooper! In flower when I got them (July, I think), I deadheaded them and they bloomed again. Again, I deadheaded them, and they re-bloomed. Again, I deadheaded, thinking they couldn’t possibly do it again, but… These I took today. I checked on Stephanie […]
