Just some stuff because there are still living things in the Bistro. I will never tire of hardy hibiscus Spicebush Swallowtail, still a poop-a-pillar, and on the move. My Mexican sunflowers stayed the right size this year because June was so dry. They still don’t look great, but this is why I will probably always […]
From a NZ Herald article on a revolting Australian pedo in the Philippines: “Capital punishment was outlawed in 1986 at the end of the brutal Marcos regimen…” Well, I have to think that by the end of a brutal regimen, they’d at least be in excellent physical condition. Jesus, journalists…REGIME! I think (?) regimen was […]
Hm. In the style of just beginning to show potential…again, with bonus Fallen Angel. Ooookay. OR, if you’re going to use the words, you should probably check and make sure you are correctly spelling “Renaissance” (which means “rebirth” and has nothing to do with potential) and “satin” (which is a sort of luxurious fabric, but […]
P wasn’t feeling well over the weekend, so I didn’t get my catching up done, and then I had other pictures I wanted to post from the weekend and from yesterday, and I didn’t do that, either, so this is gonna be a big’un, and may or may not be in order. Sweet Tea honeysuckle’s […]
I was supposed to be doing laundry, but it was too pretty a day to stay inside for all of it, so I made excuses to go and play with flutter-guys. First Viceroy in my entire life! Monarchs have been few and far between this year, but here’s a fluttery one for comparison. Holding still. […]

I had told P that I wanted a $30 set of speakers for my birthday. He didn’t get a $30 set of speakers. I took yesterday off, but I did work on my actual birthday. Anyway, this is not speakers. He also got me a cool little collapsible rake that I’ll use this fall and […]
I didn’t have any real projects planned, and didn’t make any big accomplishments, but I didn’t waste the entire weekend. On Friday, I swept off the patio, then decided to finally get around to putting away my saw, and I pressure washed that side of the house because it was kind of dusty-looking, with lots […]
I haven’t been doing enough projects to feel “inspired” to post, so I…haven’t. I have some random pictures that I uploaded, but didn’t post. Crappy picture of pale purple asters that makes them look white. I think these are some that I bought last fall, and meant to cut back before the 4th of July […]
