Four months????. . . . . I am sure it is telling that I have not done any posts for a long time... but what does it tell?? That I have nothing to share? No daily events that are even worth mentioning?? A catastrophic life altering sudden depression??I don't know??? A boring existence?? Or just no words to express what has been happening in my world.. ???Maybe alot of each of these. But really after all this time, I really do have a billion things I could write about. All of them positive and interesting and very exciting. But I never seem to have the words on a daily basis to share. Just sometimes. Or more realistically speaking, the time is passing so quickly there never seems to be enough of it to indulge.
For today, ok....So I am just waiting for my Hydrangea plant to bud new life. Really! I go out everyday and look at it. It just looks like Mr. Q went into my plants and stuck an old stick in the ground. Dang!!!!I knew it. I have just had this feeling that it will not thrive where it is though, I really already know it. Info to draw on:I have a friend who told me her plants had flowers and were very bushy last year just after she planted them. And, she said her landscaper told her to get a specific variety of Hydrangeas that do well in here. Most of the plants that are at the garden stores are not of that variety. Soooooo, I suspect that mine will not flourish
.. #1 Where it is in my yard and ..#2 It may not like it here in this climate anyway...so this is like year 10 of living here in this state, and I have still never had the Hydrangea plant I want..!!! I really need Martha. I really don't want to rename this blog -Hydrangea H*ell! yuh know?
I did get out early though while the ground was still soft after the thaw, but before the clay hardens... to pull out all the orchard- grass- shoots in my flower-less beds. And that was great. However; I decided to wait a week to do the area under my picket fence. That was a huge mistake!! By the next week the dirt was too hard to get any grass shoots pulled out easily. So it was harder and more frustrating. I am planning to plant Nasturtium all along the perimeter of the fence around my yard. Just under the pickets. I did it last year late in the season, and it was really pretty. But some of the seeds on the south side of my house did not get as large as on the west side. I am hoping this year they will really do well all over. I just need to remember next year to work fast while the dirt is soft, in prepping the soil. I don't do tons of big permanent things in my yard, because I hope someday to start fresh, but it is fun to try new things and experiment while I can....like a rough draft. Another nice way to pass some time here and there.
Favorite indulgence this week: King Size Reeses Cups (it's about time!) and Swedish Fish!!
