If an upload from two days ago fails, the logical thing to do is STOP TRYING. Jesus Christ, WP…xan you possibly make your app worse? Wait… I already know the answer to this.

I was outside, watering, when I noticed a turtle amongst the foliage. I saw what I thought was yellow, and hoped it would be Roxy, but when the turtle moved away from the sound of my voice, I guessed it probably wasn’t. Once he came out into the open, I saw that he was an […]

I cleaned the house all day Friday (even vacuumed the baseboards!), and then we had to go to Mt V on Saturday morning, leaving so early that I was too tired to do much on Saturday except stop at Lowe’s and buy a Physocarpus ‘Summer Wine’ and a serviceberry ‘Standing Ovation’ (didn’t even know there […]

Honeysuckle on the fence, which is so pretty when it does its big spring bloom that I cannot help but take pictures even if I’ve seen it many times. 100′ of hummingbird feeder! I didn’t plant this, and I keep meaning to move it, but then I end up leaving it for one reason or […]

He actually turned up the day after the oreos left–I like to think he came to make us miss them less–but I didn’t want to do anything to startle him, so I didn’t take pictures at first. For the second time in my life, and the first time in about 10 years, I got to […]

Oh my GOD, what a fucking job it was to get that shit out of the ground! I didn’t mind the look of the maiden grass too much, and had it been well-behaved, and not made me itch fiercely every time I so much as brushed by it, I probably would have left it there, […]

The original plant cost me a goddamned fortune, but if ability to spread everywhere in a giant flowerbed constitutes value, then I’ve got my money’s worth! This stuff is everywhere! I don’t really mind, though, and neither do Pipevine Swallowtails. The flowers are cool-looking, too.
