popsicle

i planted my garden today. i'm so pleased, it makes me jump around and make excited sounds. i tried to take what i was doing very seriously and measured exactly 2 inches of pebbles at the bottom of each pot. i wanted to do it right and to do what it takes to ensure my garden's success. i think i'll tend it with more care than i thought i was capable of, because i'm already taking so much pleasure in it.


man, i'm having a dreadful hair-day today. yikes!

this afternoon melissa and i tag-teamed brownie making and bbq assembly. we were victorious with both, but the bbq was sightly more challenging – but we conquered.

in the evening i hung out with helen & terrence just returned from their honeymoon. it was fun going thru all their gifts, some of them totally astound me. who gives gifts like that to a young hip couple!?!? anyway, they passed along a spice-rack to me AND they got me this really awesome ugly cat button. which is great because i've been thinking lately that i need some new buttons. i feel so domesticated with my new spice-rack.

look at the trees,
and look at my face,
and look at a place far away from here.

how often should i water them??

Uh.... when they look dry?

I've found that potted annuals need watering pretty frequently (like every other day or so if there's no rain). But don't worry, if they wilt and fall right over from lack of water, a good drink will perk them right up again.
