I'm starting from scratch here, so I'm trying to do it right.
In not right news, I may go liberate a hosta or two, as well. See, the woman across the street walked away from her house. We've seen the foreclosure notices, she left last summer, being pretty cagey about it. Anyway, she had many very nice hostas. Next door neighbor already took a couple. We figure as long as we leave
enough....
Not like the bank is doing shit. Neighbor weeded a bit when she stole hers, figuring community service.
I've got a few. I'm not really sure what they are supposed to do, but they take up space, are hardy and look nice.
Have to decide if I want to put mulch down. Plus side: covers dirt, at least slows slows down weeds and ivy. Minus: is a bitch to deal with when the leaves fall. Plus, I probably need another bag.
OH! And end of May, I'm gonna go get me some bulbs from Sherwood Gardens a few blocks over [link] at their annual bulb dig! I need to look at the map to figure out what to get. I have no idea if $.30 is a steal or not, but fun!
Waahhh, I need to wind down now.
Now I'm paranoid I'm hosting some kind of spambot or something. My domain host keeps blocking my home IP address. I have six mail-capable devices connected on this network right now, I think. I don't want to even get started on troubleshooting that.
Oh god, I just told my mother I would look at some clothes for her tomorrow, and now I feel like I should do yardwork over there.
Heh, the redistribution of landscaping is cracking me up.
I am generally pro-mulch, but I also tend to leave leaves to compost in place whenever I can. If there's a lazy choice, that's what I'll take.
If I can get the front yard whipped into shape tomorrow (totally doable,it really doesn't need much work, just looks scraggly) I can start working on the blackberries that are taking over the back in the evening during the week. I need to clear at least enough so I can get to the possibly ripe oranges.
Doggie [link]
So far, Dog to be named later (bagel doesn't fit, but I think Basel might) made it clear that he was not going to be shut in the garage even part time, and Bubba made it clear that he was not going to be shut in the bedroom, even part time, and there was some hissing and barking, but nothing too horrible.
Even so, first days are exhausting [link]
What's Dita's take?
I've found that rarely do the guidelines for intro actually become agreeable to the actual pets. They force it. As long as safety isn't an issue, eh.
He's adorable! Get him used to and happy with brushing, those tailfeathers will require it.
I see Bastien.
Cutiepie doggie! He and Bubba will work something out on their own, probably conspire against you before long.
He's a pretty boo! Hello puppy!!!
