There I was, blogging not long ago about how nice the yard looked. It’s amazing how quickly that changes, isn’t it? I mean, I can clean the house and if I leave it alone for a week or two, it will stay clean, dust notwithstanding. (I am pretty sure this is the case, though I [...]

Wherein I Talk Trash To Myself
March 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Endless Blathering, Gardening
Lalala. It is really pretty out today. Nearly 70 degrees, sun shining. I am wearing a dress and spending the whole day… indoors. Indoors. I didn’t even bring my camera to work. I will get a chance to take a walk after work, before the weekly Wednesday night trivia game, but it won’t be long [...]

Destruction of the Weedbeds
October 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Gardening, Pointless Updates
Wow, I had such a productive weekend! I love that. I also love those resolutions. Nothing gets me motivated more than those, and they’ve directly resulted in getting so much done. Even the resolutions about movie-watching and book-reading. I clearly need deadlines and direction to complete my goals. I cleaned out the garage on Saturday. [...]

I can’t tell whether my earlier entry is just that unreadable, or if it’s my weirdly tired but overslept mindset today. Anyway, last week in the airport, I couldn’t help but notice how many people were walking barefoot through airport security after slipping off their summer shoes, and wonder how many of those same people [...]

I Finally Did Some Gardening!
June 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment · Gardening
I finally did some gardening! It was all because my mother agreed to come over and help me, so we set aside a full day this past weekend and made the plan. Gardening and then pizza for lunch. PLUS she brought the pickup truck and we filled the bed with weeds and limbs and debris, [...]

Exhibit! And Other Crap!
June 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Gardening, Photography
It’s been so beautiful for the past few days here. I thought the humidity would return, but it’s been very comfortable. Warm, but comfortable. On the other hand, the flooding continues. I mentioned the exhibit here yesterday, but I think I forgot that I didn’t tell you what that was. Not that I know much [...]

Yay!

Woo! The landscaping people are at my house right this minute, getting that work done! I am very excited, as the retaining wall was starting to lean dangerously close to the sidewalk after all the rain we’ve had this year. And they should have the flowerbed in the backyard done by tomorrow. I hope they [...]

Stuff I’m Doing
June 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Gardening, Photography
It’s really a beautiful day outside, the first not-rainy, not-humid, not-hot-as-hell day we’ve had in a few weeks. It felt like we went from early spring to midsummer overnight, so it’s nice to get just this one little late spring day before it really is midsummer. If only I didn’t have an evening of photo [...]

Putting Dismembered Limbs Into Plastic Sacks
April 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Gardening
Last night, I got outside and did some of that yard work that I didn’t do over the weekend because I was too busy being lazy. I have a compost bin in my backyard, but the amount of yard debris at spring clean-up exceeds the size of my compost bin, so I have to put everything into [...]

Thinking Ahead
June 29th, 2007 · No Comments · Gardening, Mi Familia, Movies
After several weeks of drought, we have had two lovely rainy days in a row. I am very happy about this, because I love rainy summer days and I love seeing all of my plants get badly-needed drinks of water- the kind of drink where it seeps way into the ground, not just puddles on [...]
