Ahem.

As much as I loved my layout, I changed it today because (a) a loved one was having trouble viewing the previous layout, and (b) GIANT SQUID GIANT SQUID GIANT SQUID!!!

In Other News, am planting a metric poopton of roses of Sharon my ex-landlady..um...encouraged me to dig up for her yesterday. I think that if they survive, it'll make this house much less ZOMG ugly on the outside. I will have to take pics. Sadly, planting these things has meant some major archaeological-type digging, and so I've had to do it a bit at a time.

Also decided to try putting in some lily of the valley along the front steps; if they take to the area, it'll be quite a nice little thing. (They are one of my two favourite flowers.)

Even though I don't think I'll be here to enjoy much of the fruit of my labour, it feels good to try to bring some beauty to this property.

*looks outside*

Oh goodness, the weather is trying to turn crappy..I should get back out there..

May 1 is also La FĂȘte du Muguet (lily-of-the-valley, or May bells).

I have plenty of places to plant a garden, but no motivation to do it. One fo these days, maybe I'll become a plant person.

Then again, maybe not.

I always find gardening relaxing... even in 90+ degress. Good luck with the Rose of Sharon, I hope it survives.
Enjoy the new look.

You should do a butterfly garden! Easy, native, perennial stuff like what the ren faire does. I bet Tessa could be persuaded to help keep it watered. :)
