I've been enjoying my gardening, and put in a new above ground planter a few days ago. Today ~ after we walked the dogs for 3 miles ~ I put in the ground cloth and put the 3 bags of soil in it. As it turns out, I will need two more bags. I know I'm putting the peach peppers in it (I think it's the color of the pepper that gives it the name) but I haven't decided what else to put in. Somethings will come to me!
At last my chives are coming up. They took forever! My strawberries are putting on blooms after a month long hiatus from the spring. I put them in a self-watering planter, and they're doing good. Maybe next year we can harvest enough to make jam, but so far we eat them as they ripen.....so good.
Lol, I've been looking at sofa beds for my office and this add popped up for a "human dog bed". I just think it's hilarious. Could you imagine your guests sleeping in one of these? Hmmmm....I don't think so.
The painting continues. I've put a couple of color patches on the walls, but I may need to get a couple more to check out. My office hasn't been painted for over 12 years, so I think it's time for a refresher.
Friday I am going with 3 others to Denver to attend an event at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Saturday. I've never been to a cathedral, nor have I ever seen a Metropolitan be enthroned (I know, that's an odd word for it). We're also going to go to check out the botanical gardens. I'm really looking forward to the trip, but not so much riding in someone else's car. I'm worried about motion sickness, which I don't have a problem with if I drive. I do have medication (meclizine) that I'll take if I decide not to drive.
Well, I think it's time for a shower and a nap. I love being retired!
Love, 365
I've seen those human dog beds too I amazon adds. Only for the very yound I'd say. I can't imagine how I'd roll out of it and stand up..... Half a dozen times during the night.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the chives are growing. Mine are in a pot and have thrived for years.
We have a long weekend coming up. The day of the Holy Spirit is a public holiday. Hope your trip is smooth
Wow, a public holiday! We do not have enough Orthodox to warrant a holiday! My chives are sprouting, but I guess the heat is slowing them down a bit. I hope they will keep coming year after year like yours.
DeleteIt was pretty smooth! With a few little bumps.
I think a guest might wonder where you'd put the Great Dane. It's clearly his bed!
ReplyDeleteRight?! That's what I was thinking too. :-D
DeleteThe human dog bed looks like it's covered in poly fur. Which makes me sweaty. Also, you would need a forklift to get me off the floor. So if that's going to be the accommodation, I am not coming to visit!!
ReplyDeleteLove the hollyhocks. I used to make dresses for my little twig fairies from those. When I was rrreallly young. So like 55 years ago.
It's also been about that long since I was in Denver. Huh.
