Oh my gosh. Well, if this isn't the greatest (and most difficult!) question to ask me, I don't know what is. midnightsjane asked me: "what your dream garden would look like if you had all the time and resources needed to create it. What would you include, and what would you leave out?"

WELL. *cracks knuckles* Loads of pics under the cut. :D ( My dream landscape - we're going beyond just a garden, yo. )

Doesn't it? Just me? Today is the kids' last day of school so today is the last day that I have a morning all to myself.

So if you see them (poor eyesight, dark brown) let me know. I'll pay for shipping ( Read more... )

Because the front of my house is SO DELICIOUS. Roses, roses, roses. They're going bananas, and I couldn't be happier. Big ol' pics under the cut. Taken with my phone, so don't expect art. :D

( FLARES. AH LAHK FLARES. )

GAME OF THRONES IS BACK ON MY EYEBALLS. Oh, how I love this show. I'm back recapping them, so come talk to me about how awesome it is! (We're spoiler-free for the books, please remember that. NO SPOILERS, just discuss the episode, okay?)
