Well, two, but the second doesn’t yet exist, so I’m calling it one flowerbed left to plant. I finished the fence line yesterday with just enough of both dwarf butterfly bushes and scarlet pumpernickel seeds. I actually had one butterfly bush left, but I put it in the rectangular bed by the house. That’s also […]
I’m not yet ready to tackle weeding the last half of the fence line, so I’ll catch up on…stuff. On Thursday, I asked The O to recommend a girl-sized chain saw because Tree Dude never showed up, and the other place never returned my call. He recommended that I not buy one because I’d use […]
I finally sucked it up and paid NDA shipping to get my fishes for the 55g. By the time I did, they were sold out of the glowlight tetras I’d wanted, but they had (the equally pretty and much less common) ember tetras on sale, so I got ten of those. Ten serpae, ten ember, […]
I didn’t take any pictures because there’s nothing to see, really, but I finally got the MLB feeders up this morning (four of them, at least), and I removed the wintercreeper from around the pond. I was going to leave it because it’s perfect for the spot, and the creeping jenny that C gave me […]
M arrived on Wednesday evening, and I’d taken two days off work for his visit. The weather was decidedly uncooperative, but we got stuff done anyway. Thursday, I tidied up flowerbeds; taking out dead stuff and pulling weeds. M offered to help–he really is quite lovely–but I don’t mind doing that stuff, and he was […]
After I’d planted the creeping jenny, I came inside to start the moulding in the bathroom with the mitre box I got today. Cove moulding is a PITA for corners because what looks like it should be right…isn’t. I figured it out eventually, but while I waited to be less pissed off, I caulked the […]
I was too tired to do much on Friday night, but I did at least get the hardware back on the cabinet. That’s better! After practically killing myself to get rid of that goddamned honeysuckle on Saturday, I really didn’t want to do anything, but I’m close to done, so I sanded the printer cabinet. […]
Well, kind of almost. I have the beadboard paper on. I ended up brushing white glue onto the wood and applying the paper dry. That snot paste would’ve taken ages to dry and got all over everything. I think this small piece will forgive me. I waited a bit to let it dry some, then […]
On Friday night, I fell asleep in front of Netflix, and woke up at 2200h. Instead of having the good sense to shower and get in bed, I took the hardware off my desk and cleaned it with strong ammonia and hot water. I’d wiped it down when we moved here, but just cleanser, so […]
The caladium bulbs I got at Buchheit weren’t individually labeled, but on Friday, I remembered to take a photo. Red Flash is the sun-tolerant one; Pink Beauty and Freida Hemple are regular shade-lovers. I got to the flutter-guy bushes before they even had tags on them. Two Royal Red, and one Black Knight. I went […]
