the batmobile has lost its wheel and joker got away?

Yes.

Not silver enough yet, but don't think I'm not waiting: [link]

My breath is bated too, amy.

You're talking about the bar cookie with layers of stuff including chocolate chips and coconut, right?

Yes! Graham cracker crust and chocolate chips and butterscotch chips and some kind of nut I think, and coconut and sweetened condensed milk and yum.

Not geeky! That's seriously really cool!

We're excited about it. That room is concrete slab floor, and I'm thinking I want to be able to stain or paint a design onto it. Only we thought it would be a kind of figure eight, but it won't be because the sun doesn't come into the house at all during the summer. Which is exactly how we'd planned it, but I didn't expect it to actually work! So it'll only be a three season calendar, but still cool.

What kind of bulbs did you end up with?

Dark (almost black) tulips & white daffodils from the hardware shop, blue irises and purple crocuses from the local nursery, and a bunch of muscari (grape hyacinth), four varieties all blue, and white peonies from your shop! So thanks so much for the rec. It'll be almost all the stuff from Van Engelen, with whom I was very impressed. They called to clarify an address detail, shipped right away, everything came in nice condition. The ground is still workable now, so I think we'll just barely make it. We'll see how they do.

We've also got the Russian sage in from last season, and we have a couple varieties of groundcover wildflowers to go underneath the bulbs. We'll need to add in the annuals to flesh it out, but I think we'll have something in the spring. So seriously, thanks, I'm so glad we were able to salvage what Breck's (ptui!) fouled up. I'll still have a flower garden for my first spring in this house!

I am in favor of possums staying nicely outside.

Also I'm in favor of silver foxes.

Shemar Moore is a far better actor than anyone that pretty needs to be. Caught a Criminal Minds rerun in which he was painfully un-self-serving and heroic. Yeah, that episode. They seriously need to lighten that shit up. I can only take so much.

ita, I am starting to send pictures.

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO JUDGE ME.

Judge? Moi? Jamais!

God, I want to be in Jamaica right now.
