~ Gardening ... I'm Done.... Really ....

Jumat, 29 April 2011


Semi-shade. Morning sun only.

The heat is setting in and keeping everything watered enough is takes time. The mister irrigation is up and running in the front yard, but needs a good amount of tweaking. Rain was predicted, but seeing what has happened in the states hit by tornadoes certainly makes it silly to complain that the rain didn't come further south. My heart and prayers go out to those who are suffering from the after effects of such terrible weather.

I was thinking that I could resist making another trip to any place where plants and flowers know my name and call out to me with enticements of how well they promise to flower for me. With very little work on my part they always say. But I was being strong. Three days without buying a single flower!

Then I found this picture while looking at my past color combinations to refresh my mind of what I might like. I had already bought the purple Persian shield during the last trip, so I only needed just a few others to go with it. Actually I did very well, only about 6 one gallon size lovelies jumped in the truck. That's no bad at all. ;)

So done for today. And I'll try some will power the next time I have the urge for more flowers.

Happy Weekend

If you were Queen ........ ?
I would probably have a chef and a gardener. That's about all I would desire. How about you?

But today, I am content to be Queen in my own home. With no subjects, not even Cody Puppy.

EDIT:
So funny. Until Kathy mentioned it, I totally forgot the one person I really, really need is a dust bunny wrangler & mess monster whisperer!! Cleaning house ... how could I miss that one?? It never makes it to the top of my list of things I want to do.

See Y'All Soon~
