Go Juliebird with your mad power- and hand-tool skills!
I just finished planting a meadow sage in my side garden and some pineapple mint in my front porch strawberry pot. I also have black-and-blue sage and lip-stick sage in the side garden. Each looks very unlike the other--it's hard to imagine they're all salvias. 
	
 
		
		
These people really have to get off this street once in a while and see the world!
	
 
		
		
Air conditioner installed.  It was a lot easier for B than it is for me. Hmph.
Next up, blinds and cleaning.  And then massive errands.  Then parents.
	
 
		
		
Calli, I love salvias!  Especially the tender perennial ones (I'm growing my fave baby blue Bog Sage at work, I so wish it was hardy).  I made the mistake one year of planting Salvia mutabilis.  Sucker got 8 feet high, but was otherwise very cool, with three colours going on at once.
	
 
		
		
Sue, that is very weird.  And annoying.
For some reason unfathomable to be, I have "The Telephone Hour" from Bye Bye Birdie stuck in my head.  You know the one that goes "Did you really get pinned?  I just knew it somehow!  I must call her right up, I can't talk to you now!" and one hundred million "Goin' Steady's".  Also, since I was in that musical twice, I also have the harmony parts stuck.  But for goodness sake, the last time I was in or even saw that musical was 16 years ago and this song is polar bearin' annoying!
	
 
		
		
I just talked to the hairdresser, and I am going to go in next week or the week after for the big chop, which gives me a little longer to get the undyed part to a better length, and then it's bye bye hair. 
	
 
		
		
Salvia mutabilis
Ooooh, I've never heard of that one before. I wonder if I could stick it along the wall somewhere . . . 
I fell in love with black and blue salvias a few years ago, but this is the first place I've lived in where I could plant them. It's fun discovering the other varieties, too. 
	
 
		
		
I guess since the blinds guy is here, I should start cleaning.  Bah.
	
 
		
		
Lee, I think you'd look great in a pixie cut!
I am rewatching last night's no-hitter again.  And now crying all over again.  I want Shotgun Cain to throw one tonight since Steve and I will be there.
