First, the bulbs. I went to Walmart after work yesterday to get edging, and accidentally found crocosmia bulbs that turned out to be Lucifer after I scanned the QR code, and blazing star, since I doubt mine survived the winter. Nice-looking bulbs, 20 pack for $5.38. I got two bags of crocosmia and one blazing […]

Just one so far, and very small. I was too tired to post this last night.

C said it was fine for me to leave at lunchtime, and it was such a beautiful day that I did! I didn’t get it completely finished because…because crabgrass, but I extended the milkweed bed enough to put in the plants that I’d bought last month. I even had help. Of course, my “help” kept […]

Yesterday, I made a little shade bed and planted the Dutchman’s Breeches and Squirrel Corn. This morning, I put the dwarf larkspur in with them. Then, I put the cranesbill (wild geranium) in the “blank” spot I had left the last time I was flower farmin’. I forked/raked back the straw and leaves to see […]

I levelled out some of the piles I’d put by the creek last July 4th, and got some composted cow manure at Buchheit today,  so I planted the squirrel corn and Dutchman’s Breeches.  Tomorrow,  I’ll plant the larkspur with them, and the wild petunia in the blank space that I left the last time it […]

First, P got a flat tire as he drove into the carport after work last night then after he got it fixed and headed to work this morning, his fuel pump died on the interstate. D rescued him and MB, and he took my car to get to work. I had no car today, which […]

It’s been warm the last few days (fingers crossed!), and it was sunny when I got home, so I went looking around the Bistro for signs of life that I hadn’t noticed before. My one brave hyacinth is still growing, and there are buds on the lilacs (white and Manchurian), and some of the plants […]

I finally decided to move my bathroom mirror up enough so the doors clear my hairspray and stuff. While I had it down, I decided to get rid of the gold and white; I’ve never liked that. I decided upon hammered steel because I like it. Also because I had the paint already. The “before”. […]

I hadn’t ordered anything lately, and couldn’t imagine what the little box was, but it had my name on it, so I opened it. I bought this on the 28th or 29th of December, I believe, but it didn’t ship until the 5th of January because of holidays. It never arrived, so the seller sent […]

The weather is supposed to be warm this coming week, and my beloved MLBs have hit the Gulf Coast. I can’t wait for the hateful little shits to arrive. Weather, behave yourself. Spring flowers, bloom. Go, Mean Little Birds,  go–northward bound! Editing to add…it’s warm enough outside today that OK came out to get some […]
