Last night I went up to Joel’s house to help harvest basil, make pesto, and tear down the ceiling in the living room. He helped me with the outrageous job of removing wallpaper from my living-room ceiling, so I really felt like I owed him.
I got up there around 5:30, did a little pottering [...]

Well, well, what’s been up… Hah, quite a bit, really. I’m starting to get over my winter blahs, thanks to the weather having been so nice lately and the days getting longer. Moreover, I’ve imposed upon myself several projects to change things up a bit so I won’t be so bored, grumpy, dull, and frustrated.
It’s [...]

I have some monarch photos, too. My little flowerbed was a hotbed of insect activity yesterday.
I also found some less showy yet still very cool critters, like:
little brown moths!
and grasshoppers.
This ‘hopper was actually munching the zinnia it was sitting on. I don’t know if you can tell yet, [...]

1. I’ve got four zinnias and a marigold blooming now, so the inundation of psychedellic floral color riots is drawing nigh. I can’t wait for my lot-wide hedge of orange, yellow, pink, and purple flowers to take off and start rioting.
2. The morning rain broke around 11:00 and at around 12:00 I [...]

For !
I need to dig up and move the tulips around this fall. They didn’t do for crap this year…they’re getting worked too deep into the earth, I think. Plus, the only type I have are these yellow/red hybrid stripey buggers.
Not that they’re not pretty, mind you. It’s just that there are [...]

This is the start of something big!
Potential
Playing around with soft-focus. It’s kind of cool, but it kind of sucks. Same flower, slightly better quality. Same flower, different angle, MUCH better quality.
I’ll share my hot-pink peonies later. Also the irises, and the few presentable tulips I had this year.
The weather has been [...]

Can you think of any good and logical reason why I should not plant miscellaneous pumpkins and fancy squash in my front yard?
The foliage is pretty, the flowers are dramatic, and squash are cool. Plus, they’re like the ultimate groundcover. Just a couple of plants will take care of most of that pesky [...]

I mowed the yard for August today.
I have this thing, about mowing. I don’t hate it, in fact I think it is kind of fun, if smelly and itchy and sweaty. I just don’t feel that it is that terribly necessary. I have a fine disdain for grass, in general, considering it [...]

“F” is for “flowers.”
Another installment in the Alphabytes series.
Pretty pictures today because my brains are taking the weekend off and I have had nice things bloom in my yard in the last couple of months. These photos aren’t terribly chronological, and as of this writing, everything is done blooming except for the daylilies and [...]
