New Plant
Roger and I bought a new hibiscus yesterday. It was a bargain. We were afraid that it wasn’t gong to the color that we wanted, and we wouldn’t know until it bloomed next year. But it was in bloom this morning! A great late summer surprise, and just the color we had been looking for.
Squash update
The squash plants growing out of the mulch piles are huge. They cover an area of about 100 square feet. Many new flowers and produce this week.
No time to stop & smell the flowers…
I have a ton of pictures of the garden, but I have had no time to get them posted. This iris bloomed today.
Spring Cleaning
My mother, Dorothy, came for Easter dinner. She helped me to clean out the pantry while she was here, and I did her taxes for her. A good deal for both of us…Here she is counting how many jars of gravy we have. And we had to mock some of the purchases Roger had made over the years… Our pantry is too deep, so things get shoved to the back, and then I am too lazy to figure out if I have something, so I buy it again. We threw away or gave away about 1/3 of the contents – yeah!
Snow Day
A nice Sunday snowfall. It was supposed to start early yesterday but didn’t roll in until about 5 PM. Tried to get a good picture of a cardinal, but it isn’t close enough. I will have to investigate telephoto lenses again…
Peach Pie
Pie making is something I am still trying to master after many years. Sometimes I get the crust just right – and sometimes I get the filling perfect. Probably 1 in 20, I get both parts right at the same time. This wasn’t one of them. The crust was excellent, and the filling was runny… Oh, well, the squirrels liked the leftovers.
Little Giant Present
Roger gave me a Little Giant ladder for my birthday. He saw one when he was at his brother Bill’s in July. I have wanted one for ages, so it was a great gift! I can’t wait to clean the gutters this year!
Split Personality
The front of my house – before and after I trimmed the bushes – in the early morning and in mid-afternoon.
Car takes another hit!
The picture on the left is from August 2004 – Roger got hit by a red light runner. The one on the right is from today – a Jeep backed into my car in the parking lot at work. Ironically, my car was the only other car in the whole parking lot.
