It was chilly this morning, so the first thing I did wasn’t garden-y or landscape-related at all. Well, kind of, I guess, since my ancient grey fuzzy shirt is my favourite cold-weather outerwear. Anyway, it has a new zipper now. I wonder if this one will last for 15 years? We didn’t get frost, or […]

It’s still not light enough for me to tell whether we got frost last night or not, but there was a frost warning. Sucks, because I still have stuff in bloom, but I guess it had to happen eventually. I actually took this on Thursday after work. They didn’t quite get the chance to bloom […]

It was such a lovely day that I wanted to leave at lunch, but I pissed around long enough that one customer caught me, and then another, and I ended up leaving at 1330h. I had planned to do nothing, but I’m not very good at that, so I watered the stuff around the pond, […]

I had to do laundry, but since we’re fast running out of days to dry things in the sun, and yesterday was warm and sunny with a good breeze, I’d made up my mind to pressure wash the mat in front of the door. It hadn’t been actually washed since I got it, and it […]

HK refused to start after work on Friday, so C drove me home. Actually, she drove me and Juliette home; she’d found the mantis in the fender well of her truck, and drove to the bank with her, and back! I started out by digging what I thought should be an appropriately sized hole to move […]

In spite of the best efforts by the venerable United Parcel Service… And in spite of the poor, unpadded, unsealed grocery bag packaging… My ginger arrived today. She’d never given me a tracking number, and she’d listed shipping as USPS, but whatever–it got here. A bit dry, but it’s been cool enough that being stuck […]

River oats, inland sea oats…whatever you want to call it, the seeds are in (really more like “on”) the ground. Since I accomplished little yesterday, and nothing at all Friday after work, only two pictures… This is the second of the lobelia that bloomed in Sarah-Flah’s garden. Photos just don’t capture the true, clear red, […]

It’s damp, windy and chilly today, and I didn’t feel like dealing with the Mexican sunflower and zinnia I uprooted on Thursday, so I decided to finally break down and install 64-bit Win7 on my desktop, so I can use Premiere; I might actually finish my DCI video if I do it here, where I […]

Supposed to be doing laundry, but received my single bloom hollyhocks, for which I paid  $12 flat-rate shipping, but only $1.04 for the plants. I had to pull out zinnia and Mexican sunflowers, which sort of sucked because we got some rain and they probably would’ve bloomed until frost, but I had to plant the […]
