New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
COME ON OVER!
All right...be right there...
Woo Hoo! I've got a garlic up!
Now for some more quality time with my trusty shovel
Hmmm. Garlics..
It's a good day for quality time with a shovel and it is our intention to do some today, as well.
Gypsygirl has been to the dogpark, we've had our coffee, and now to garden store and paint store. Much more pleasant today than yesterday. :-)
That stuff must be deadly. Be careful with it, you'll overdose.
That's the truth! I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a heart condition!
Well, we're off to breakfast.... back later :~D
*Sigh* My 'maters need more dirt.
I'm worried mine will too. Only so much I can fit...unless I really heap it around 'em. Or is that what you're supposed to do?
Gonna go to Home Depot later today for more dirt...have a place ready for the beans.
I'm gonna be tempted to get more flowers and more fill dirt. I still have some pots that aren't used...
You want to bury tomato stems as much as you can. They'll root and it will help with the water situation during the summer heat. I think I'll just pile some more dirt around them later...not going out again today.
We've got a passing shower right now. I had to chase a bird out of thesunroom a few minutes ago. I had left the screen door open at cat-width and a bird happened to wander in.
I planted my eggplant. Dunno whether I should trust the Deer Off completely or put up the chicken wire. Bunnies love eggplant.
I've been out running around. Too late in the day to find the impatiens I wanted. Finally found 'em at HomeDepot.
But in, what can be nothing other than God's timing, I got home in time to stop Nana from burning the house down. I am not making this up.
She was reheating her sandwich from Arby's last night. Paper bag, aluminum foil and all. Jr. saw the flames in the microwave. I managed to pull the bag out while it was still on fire and put it in the pot Jr. got for me.
While I have a full afternoon of work still ahead, I am currently immobilized by the thought of "what if Nana and Luke had been here alone?"
Honestly folks, I've been struggling with this whole arrangement for months. God forgive me, but I don't know how much more I can take.
So, there's that.
BWAHAHAHA!
If they were there alone it wouldn't have happened... stuff like that only happens to ~Corin~.
Gee thanks.
Seriously, though, I'm glad no one got hurt.
Yes, I need to weed around 'em...and probably tidy them up a bit. But I do like 'em.
That's... just awful. I'm glad you got home in time.
The brothers have been planting the garden all day today. They grew tomato plants, peppers, marigolds, who knows what else under lights indoors and they're transferring them to the patch today. I went to the grocery store with Dad and we stocked up on supplies for tonight's taco dinner... amazing how much boys eat.
And today I finally have some little green things in the tires where I planted seeds! Woo-hoo!
When is the race?
About an hour... The prelims are on now. come on over if you wanna watch it here. Those flowers are gorgeous... can I take and transplant pieces of it? Does it just spread?
I think it'd transplant OK - seems pretty hardy. You're welcome to come get some at some point!
I also have a few monster-plant spawns, if'n you'd like an indoor type plant...
