The lavender plants that have been sitting on my walkway for months are finally in the ground! I love these plants because the growing advice is to find a location that receives full hot sun all day and make sure the soil is poor and dry. Then you are supposed to leave them alone if you want them to thrive. What a deal. They are out front between the bonsai grapefruit tree and the texas sage and will be the backdrop for my flower garden. Commence ignoring! I have decided the front walkway is the best place for everything because a.) It hasn't been claimed b.) There will be no remodeling threatening it's beauty c.) Everyone will see it when they approach our front door & d.) I will not be able to forget about it or ignore it's pleads for help (if there are any) because I'll see it every time I approach the front door. It's a master plan folks. My seedlings have begun to sprout! 10 -12 days my ass. I am also going to get an elephant food plant for my last large container to place in the front by the door. After all, you never really know when you might have an elephant stopping by. I like to be prepared.
I am going to look for more bargain priced so pretty glass hummingbird feeders to hang out back. There is this little hummer that continues to question the convincing food source of our red hose nozzle and abandoned Christmas wreath. I admit, I have been slacking big time on keeping the hummingbird feeders full. Although when I am on top of it, more than just hummers show up. We have *the cutest* little birds flocking to our feeders. They are so cute I can't stand it. Then again, I guess I can because they've been empty for like a week. There is this bush in front of our carport making up for my neglect. After all the rain it burst forth with it's bright orange trumpet like flowers and the hummers live for these so whatever. Me and mother nature are cool like that.
There is so much to do and here I am blogging. Mr. F and I pulled a light a fire, watch TV, talk and puter all night long for no other reason than to do it. It was super fun and all but now my body is all, "Hey doucebag! Guess what? You're not 20 any more. Here, I'll show you what I mean...". Needless to say, it'll be a fruitful day as I am not going down without kicking and screaming but a nice early night. I'm thinking something like falling asleep to a movie. Ahhh... Speaking of which, have you seen Running With Scissors?? I remember reading the book it is based on a long time ago. What a totally f-ed up book and the movie did a great job making it visible. Check it out.
Off I go then. You know, if I don't collapse after all the chores I am about to partake in, I might just get some pictures of my going ons. The coffee maker just summoned me. We are dear friends after all, so it doesn't surprise me in the least. Does bottoms up even apply here?
