Tuesdaily with Sea Monster Scale Chart and garden news

[ellenmillion]

It's done, done, done! I have half the packages for sponsorships packed and ready to mail - I just need to cut and sign and number a few more postcards and print one more $%&* soldierfish aceo for a set, and I can cross this off my list. The giant lobster isn't up at the site yet because the article hasn't been approved, but it should be soon.

Tiny tiny diver! And really huge anchor on the border?

Three cheers for apple trees and bees!

I hadn't really thought of the anchor or tentacles on the border as part of the scale - but giant anchors aren't that unusual for very big boats.

Horrah for flowers and bees!

Now that you mention it, I have seen some very big anchors on display around the harbor. I don't know how big a boat one needs to justify one of those.

Wild chives are great. I use them in many recipes.

They are a delicious touch!

I'm always startled when those dead-looking twigs start throwing out leaves like crazy. ANd the other surprise was one extremely cold winter here when all sorts of things wintered over--and I realized it was probably the snow that insulated them from the worst of the cold!

God, that sea monster chart is still just SO COOL.

I am enormously pleased by how well the chart turned out.

And yes, we have the worst plant problems on low-snow years, not necessarily the coldest winters.
