Boo Hoo....my mail-order plants all arrived today and the weather is abysmal. I want to put them out!!!! Where is spring????? What's more, there's no end in sight for at least a week. I'm goint to have to wait for that elusive break in the weather and be ready with trowel in hand. I know all the rest of the NW gardeners are in the same ( ... )

We get to pack our bags for the return trip tomorrow. I haven't won my sister's cats over yet....I must be losing my charm! One is on the verge, but it will all be for nothing. I miss my kitties. The weather has been pretty reasonable over all. It rained/snowed for the Bermondsey market, but cleared up. The 99% protesters were in force outside ( ... )

Hi Ho, Hi Ho....it's off to London I go! I just tried to check in online, but for some reason, their site isn't working. Oh well, I have to get luggage on so it doesn't really make a difference. I'll be back on the 19th. Ya'll have fun!!!

I refuse to go out and be a part of a mob to save a couple of dollars. Today the sun is out, and I am enjoying the continued garden display. This is a camellia that has just started to bloom. I love this one. It will be done just before the end of the year.

We went to the O'Gallery day auction yesterday. I didn't get ANYTHING....what a miracle. I think it's because people are starting to look for cheap christmas gifts and drive the prices up. There was also a guy there that apparently has an online store that just buys everything and won't quit until he gets what he bids on (and he bought lots of ( ... )

I've been sitting round the house lately feeling useless. I've gotten all the plants and bulbs in (bar the ones that haven't arrived yet) that I ordered during the year and had to wait for the right planting season. I've watered faithfully all summer (resulting in the biggest water bill ever) in anticipation of the flowering season next year. I ( ... )

Our telephone stopped working on Tuesday night. Naturally we didn't know it wasn't working till Thursday morning because Mum had a telephone bid at the auction house on Wednesday night that didn't get through. When she called to complain there was no dial tone ( ... )

We've had sneak attacks on our chickens this week. We've lost 2 so far and the week isn't over yet. What pisses me off it the critter doing the killing is only eating the heads and necks. I went to Wilco today to get some chicks to cover these losses and any future ones, but they were out until tomorrow.....but I did get hay for the horses! I'm ( ... )

I'm feeling pretty virtuous right now! The LAST hardwood floor has been laid, the painting is almost done, and I've finally put the cabinet together so that I can get my excess DVDs and CDs organized. I still have to replace the trim I tore out around the window (the baseboard was replaced as well) and clean said window. I've been going through ( ... )

OK....OK.....I haven't posted in a while.....SORRRYYYY ( ... )
