I finally remembered to bookmark the relevant local code I need to follow.
I called the Building Department today and inquired about what info I might be missing, and was told the person I should speak to is out on inspections. They took my name and number and he will get back to me. Continue reading “The Walipini Project – part 2”
I wanted to mention that I did plant the Lily of the Valley pips, but I do not hold out much hope for them.
They, like a few other seeds and bulbs/pips I’ve had for a while spent some time due to the moves in bad storage conditions.
The pips look beyond hope, however I figured if I don’t plant them anyway, I’ll always wonder if somehow even one might have made it. I have shady room to spare right now, so I got them in the ground today.
Time will tell.
This was barely started last year, and we found an hour to spare today with co-operation from the weather, so we hopped on it. Tomorrow I’ll post a bit more info about this project area overall.
For now, just two progress images, and I did not plan the before/after well because the shots are not exactly the same, though one seems much closer than the other thanks to Photoshop cropping. I put in arrows on the worse off pairing to show which post in the fence is the same to give a better idea of the change. Continue reading “Along the driveway progress”
I currently have two digital cameras. One is cheap and terrible at close ups. The other is good for its time, but now would be considered old. The older one is finicky, and often won’t save data properly. I have not yet had time to see if I can get it fixed. I also, at this time, cannot afford a new camera (and, no, I do not own a cell phone that can take pictures). Continue reading “A Tale of Two Cameras”
As I myself was watching the days tick down in eager anticipation, I noticed the last few days that my usual goto site for dead basic weather information was noting frost advisories. Then today, they vanished. Continue reading “Why the Frost Free countdown changed”
I honestly thought I had at least one or two more shots from last year, but I’m not finding them at the moment.
If I find them later, I’ll add those to the new Friends? page.
I couldn’t get all of them on camera, but I have been seeing: Continue reading “A few observations”
I finally started an About page that spends more time talking about how the tag line for this blog came to be than I do talking about the other usual “about” sort of stuff.
Yes, I know the correct quote. Read the page to find out why it’s altered.
Later, I’ll build another page with progression images (past, with ongoing updates) that will all have similar titles playing off my initial reaction when I found myself falling into the amazing realization that I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into with this newly discovered “ground” now revealed since the snow had finally melted.
[Edit: later changes after this post led to the “Friends” page which may be gone by the end of Jan. 2020. so I’m not linking to it just yet from here.]
