They Love Me!

who's complaining?). My sister, mom, and I went over to my favorite
plant place--Heard's--in Westminster, California. They bought me way
cool stuff! Here's my haul:
A pair of bright yellow rubber garden clogs (Yay! I can get rid of the
ratty, heel-stepped-on, slip-on Vans with the holes in the toes!)
1 Penstemon campanulatas hybrid "Garnet," in a half-gallon
bucket--wine-colored flowers
1 Buddleia "Royal Red," in a gallon bucket--wine-colored flowers
1 hyacinth
1 Adenophora liliifolia (which I know *nothing* about--it was an
accidental purchase--we think someone put it on our cart when we weren't
looking, and we all thought one of the others got the plant. When it
came time to divvy up the plants, we realized the mistake)
1 variegated columbine "Woodside Strain" (so beautiful!!), in a
half-gallon bucket
1 six-pack of salpinglossis
I also purchased 4 Alpine strawberries--they seem to do better in the
strawberry pot. My mom also bought me a packet of Fig Hollyhock seeds,
and I picked up a packet of Asclepias.
I'm in heaven! This store has the coolest plants!! We're not talking
Home Depot selection here.
And my sister and her friend gave me enough money to assuage any guilt I
felt over my art supply purchases at the nearby art supply store. I
bought enough watercolor paper to keep me busy for a while.
Too bad I feel too dizzy to anything with the plants or paper!! At least
I can read my new "Watercolor" magazine.
I feel yucky, but life, overall, is good.

rains on my birthday.

LOL! And I didn't get cool stuff like you got either. :P But I did get
a potted miniature white which I will plant when it gets warm enough.
Woohoo! Good nuff for me.

Your son, being born on the 21st, is probably slightly warped
astrologically speaking LOL, depends on when and where he was born. All
the cusp people on Pisces/Aries - sensitive, determined, visionary,
etc. You know, international mega-corp CEO types LOL. Bach was born on
the 21st, I understand around midnight. Welcome to spring everybody,
the vernal equinox marks time. It's going to rain, and life will return
to this rock soon enough. So shake off those winter blues and grab your
shoes, it's time to help nature along with a little planting.

I realized I didn't give it enough drama - Annihilation, destruction and
death. Let your worries and illusions go - give up on your old dreams
and unrealized desires. Take out a torch and burn the whole f_cking
place to the ground, and find joy in the act. Let the world destroy
you. Reduce everything to smoking ashes and breath deep the scent of
it, let it burn your eyes. Sit on your knees and let nature's Will burn
you up. Then, touch the water and the earth and you will rise like the
phoenix. Be born with new purpose from the singularity. Let winter
turn to spring. It's about rebirth, baby. GET SOME! :)
There, that's a little better.

heh heh... my SO almost did that, too. he lit the gas finish pan in the
sap house, not realizing a) i wasn't home to watch it & b) that the syrup
in there was ready to bottle, so there wasn't much there (about 2
gallons).
then he went to work...
i got down to the saphouse about an hour & a half later to find merrily
burning sugar. eeeeeeeew! good thing the lid was on or the saphouse (and a
bit of the sugarbush) would have been toast. so we only had to replace the
finish pan, which was a bit of an expense, but better than replacing
everything... although i think we really do need a new evaporator unit.
Let the world

whew! i think you must be in a warmer zone than i am... we still have lots
of snow & it won't dry up enough to plant for at least another month.
i do love mud season though :)

sincere, although very belated Happy Birthday.
