I finally made it to one of our city’s Conservation Commission meetings. I’ve been curious about what exactly it is they do beyond the general scope of what such a title would suggest.
Unexpectedly, one item on the agenda turned out to be something I might actually be able to help with, involving some plant sharing with another homeowner.
So far, this has been a neat development for a lot of reasons. I’ll write more about it in the coming days.
I made a decision about how to mark the survivors of this year’s planting. I’m also trying to keep track of how many grew from how many seeds (when I can recall).
Forecast is rain and more rain. Glad I got what I did in the ground.
For now, I’m trying to keep this a free site because right now we need the funds for other things (read: house poor). Since my cheaper camera either has malfunctioned or I need a new storage disk for it, I’ve mostly been using the better camera. Continue reading “Quick notice regarding images”
I updated the countdown for the install of the rain barrel itself. That should be easy enough as long as we can get over there to pick it up on a day the center is open. Getting the guttering up in that corner, though…that’s a bit more iffy.
The office view I posted the other day now has twice the dandelions shown there.
Greenery is bursting out everywhere, some still smothering some plants I don’t want smothered. Continue reading “Feeling a bit overwhelmed!”
as I sit here, watching all sorts of insects hanging out on or flying by my office window that I really need to clean those windows.
That way, when I try to take close ups, my nice camera doesn’t decide to focus on the water spots instead of the intended creature.
…won’t be back for Sat-ur-day. (Don’t ask me why that childhood tune has been in my head, but it has been. My brain tweaked the lyric without my help, oddly.) Continue reading “Rain, rain, fell two days…”
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.
