in_the_blueThe past couple days, I've been feeling kind of... I don't know, sad, I guess. So yesterday I decided to do something about it. Went to the garden store and got a few more lovelies for my yard, then potted them and arranged them just so. The arrangement, as you'll be able to tell, is a painstaking process whereby I take them and set them down and say not bad and that's that.
Someone out there (hi Hez) wanted pictures, so here you go.
New Plants - feather grass, something I don't know that begins with M, and snapdragons
Mexican Heather
Snapdragons up close and personal
It's been so cold and so wet this summer that a lot of my flowers have kind of rotted away. It's a sad thing to see. My purple daisies all look burned up (that's what happens when it rains a lot and they get drenched and then the sun beats down on them) and a couple other things have ended up that way too. I need some steady sunshine to bring them back. After I planted my plants yesterday, I went to water everything since it hadn't rained in almost two days, and a lot of the potted plants were just dirt-drenched. I should replant them all in the earth and see if it makes them happy. Tomorrow, I think, if the weather cooperates. It'll be my first day off this week.
P.S. My last entry, with the links to Foo Fighters stuff? You guys should read the tour rider, it's one of the funniest things ever. Someone has a great sense of humor, I accuse Dave Grohl. You don't even have to have worked in the rock & roll industry to appreciate it and you don't even have to be a Foo fan, I promise.
