With the beanflower's boon and the blackbird's tune....

It's me again! :) And this journal is starting to oddly resemble a gardening one. Or something. Please don't let the pictures fool you - i *do not* garden. I am horrible at gardening. I kill things nobody else can kill, mostly through total loss of memory about the existence of said thing. I forget to water, to move, to prune....

Which is why i love bulbs and my yard that is mostly flowering weeds. :)

Speaking of - for the last couple of weeks, the honeysuckle has been in bloom. Oooh, it's so wonderful. You step outside - or you just get a breeze through the window - and you are enveloped in the scent. I love it so much.




I wish it would cover the back fence, too. But, see, the thing is...as much as i Do Not Garden, i dearly *love* plants. Vines, trees, flowering things...i love them. I would have a house full if a) i didn't kill them all (history will not be kind) and b) didn't have cats that thought eating and digging in potted plants a fine, fine pasttime.



So i got a nice hanging plant for mom's day. :)



It's called 'Hawaiian Luau', and it has four different colors of flowers - probably four different plants in one pot. I love it, but it needs watering daily or it wilts into sad little strings. I am persevering at remembering. :)

And so, that's my post for the day. Tomorrow, I think i'm going to do the meme that trishabooms tagged me in ages ago.

(P.S. - it's low seventies and just lovely outside. Would that it would stay this way until August!)

I know just how you feel about gardening. I love plants and don't actually mind rooting around in the dirt I just have the worst case of "Black Thumb" imaginable. I am a fantastic weeder; if you want to rid your lawn of dandelions, I'm your gal (though I admit not even my formidable talents are defeated by fennel), but if you want bulbs put in best lock me in the house and possibly put up a warding circle of some kind to protect them. lol.

Heeee!

Hi hi hi!!
*smooches you*
*spins you about*

Now, see, i do bulbs because - you stick 'em in the ground and then you forget about them. They do their thing all by their lonesome! It's great. :)

Wow, nice to see you!

Hi right back atcha :-)

It's nice to be seen, lol.

I can nurture bulb plants, but if I put them in the ground myself I may as well be trying to get rocks to bloom.

(Oh and I meant to say that even my talents were *not* up to defeating fennel. It's my herbacious Kryptonite!)

Heee! Poor little bulbs. :)
