The big one with the white edges needed the edges sewn up.
Then I put it in the window!
It looks backwards in the picture but if you're standing outside, it is the right way.
Did you know to hang a flag the blue should always be in the upper left when placed in a window or hung anywhere. You should never put the blue under the stripes or the upper right except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
This is what my garden looked like the last time you saw it:
This is what it looks like right now:
Some changes, The rosemary went from this:
To this:
And one of my date palms was mad at being transplanted, so it died. I planted a chopped up prickly pear from the top of a plant where the bottom half was dead! It was either that or watch it die a slow murderous death! I picked out the best 3 pieces to plant and figured I had 3 shots at this. If one takes, beautiful! I love how cactus's are so easy to regrow!
I'm getting excited waiting for a backyard. Then all my plants will be happy because I'll be planting many of them in the ground.
This is all I have left! I got rid of everything else. Do you see that asparagus? It didn't waste any time did it?
We put another offer in for a house we looked at last night. I'm hoping we get it.
Hope this Valentine's Day is a happy one where you don't spend money but just spend time with your loved one! So many people have forgotten that holidays are not for seeing who can spend the most money and have the biggest party but instead were meant for you to take time to spend with your family and loved ones or remember depending on the holiday.
Marketers have made all holidays into "waste tons of money for crap that will be thrown away or you haven't properly celebrated it" holidays.
And all you get from them is cheap crap that just gets thrown away or breaks right away.
I think to show someone love this holiday is to spend time with them and say you love them and not waste money on material things.
This song is one we had to learn in elementary school and after the whole school learned it, the artist Rex Allen Jr. came and gave a presentation to the whole school and sang it and we sang along. I don't know why, but I like this song. Probably because it's about Arizona and I was born here.
Watching that video by Rhett and Link about 15 words a couple post ago, when they talked about petrichore, I thought of that one line in the song "And the smell of the rain on your skin."
The petrichore today was dirty smelling so I take it back. I don't like all petrichore. I guess it's because of where I live, in the city. The petrichore here this morning had a scent of wet asphalt, and wet old dog/cat pee.
I guess if I want true petrichore, I'll have to drive out to the desert and inhale the wet sage brush, cactus, and dirt smell. There is nothing like it. True petrichore at it's finest.
It's cloudy, cold, and drizzly today. The light coming in my windows makes me want to just go to sleep. So I found this song and it brought sunshine into my house!
I love you, Arizona; Your mountains, deserts and streams; The rise of
Dos Cabezas* And the outlaws I see in my dreams;
I love you Arizona, Superstitions and all; The warmth you give at
sunrise; Your sunsets put music in us all.
Oo, Arizona; You're the magic in me; Oo, Arizona, You're the life-blood of
me;
I love you Arizona; Desert dust on the wind; The sage and cactus are
blooming, And the smell of the rain on your skin.
Oo, Arizona; You're the magic in me; Oo, Arizona, You're the life-blood of
me;

My asparagus decided to start growing again, and I'm not ready for it... I wish it would just go dormant for at least 1 month and let me take a break from it! Why oh why can it not be like normal asparagus and die down for a while? Now I have to move it back out from under the table out onto my patio! Out of the 4 plants I transplanted into this pot, 3 came back. I guess I wasn't rude enough to them!
