Whee!
I'm so proud of myself. ^____^ The calla lily I planted back in December bloomed today!! It's amazing and beautiful, but I need to re-pot it! It's huge!!! But beautiful... I'm amazed. I used to have what my mother refered to as a "black thumb" meaning I could manage to kill any plant within about a mile of me. *snicker* But apparently not anymore. I've been happily gardening, and I'm so proud of my plants! The other day we went to the bonsai nursery and bought a bunch of starter saplings. I even bought a small orange tree... it's lovely, with oranges growing on it! Absolutly adorable. ^_^ Now I'm addicted... I need more room for plants. I'm in love with gardening. ^_____^; We're currently deciding what to plant on the balcony for the summer, and I'm excited. I get strawberries!!! Yes, I'm a dork.
Anyway, talked to my Mom today... called her out of the blue, and she really responded favorably. I really feel like I'm getting somewhere in my relationship with my parents, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Today I think I'll take a walk down to Home Depot and buy a new pot for my calla lily cause it's WAY overgrown it's pot. ^^; Then I need to do some sewing. I got all my home accents done yesterday, and they're BEAUTIFUL!! I'm very pleased with how they turned out. So today I get to work on my costume for the LARP (which is a dress I've been dying to do for some time ANYWAY!!!) and then work on a blouse that I've been wanting to make out of my cherry blossom chiffon that I bought last year. ^^; Oh, and of course the never-ending house cleaning... *laughs* Oh!! I also have to make mochi today for Umeka's tea ceremony lesson tonight... ^^; Damn, glad I remembered that!!
Watching the news today I see how lucky we are to have our amazingly beautiful weather here. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in the Northeast who're getting slammed with yet another bad snowstorm. I do hope we get some rain/snow soon, though, otherwise we might be looking at another drought in the coming months. But then, nothing could compair to the drought of 2002. I hope that NEVER happens again.
Anyway, time to run off for the day... if I want to get everything done I need to get moving. ^_^ Everyone have a wonderful, blessed day!! <3
