Good Morning everyone. Here is a taco pug for ya.

Thankee, madam.
Well, not for long, anyway.
Thankee. I hope so, too.
I like the way you think. Pass the bacon.
Ah, but could she put in an herb garden for me? (Probably.)
I did, indeed, go outside and get my hands dirty. I didn't just water the plants, I tended to them. Every time we go to Tall Guy's gramma's house, she rips up half her yard to send home with us under the misguided notion that I can keep green things alive. I've explained to her that plants come to my house to die. But she psh-aws me and packs whole grocery bags full of clippings and plants she rips right out of the ground. I bring 'em home and dutifully try my best. And this time, some of them seem to be thriving.

The plants in the closest five pots all got stuck in one pot just to try to keep 'em alive until I could get some better dirt. They survived and became pot-bound, so I untangled their roots and gave 'em each a pot. Here's hoping they take hold.

This tree... thing got stuck in with the big elephant ears in the ground at first, but the latter quickly overwhelmed that spot, and the red ants got at this guy, along with Grampa. So both got potted.

Grampa (first planted by Tall Guy's great grandfather) isn't thriving, but he's hanging in there.

I might have to repot him, again. I didn't put any rocks in the bottom for root drainage. I did remember to put them in with everything I planted today.

I have no idea what these purple things are, but they seem to be doing okay, putting down roots and displaying new growth. So I repotted them, too.

And I planted some herbs. We'll see if they come up or not. There's Oregano, Thyme and Rosemary. And in the farthest little pots, gourds.

I don't if anything will happen, but time will tell. I hope so.

I've had this fellow for a couple of years. After putting out one shoot last year, it died. I left it there.
Then, this spring, it started sprouting again. I guess it's one of those that comes back every year.

It had a bunch of big long leaves and looked great for months, but now it seems to be dying off again. I'll leave it alone and see if it comes back again.

These little elephant ears were mere sprouts when we got 'em so they got stuck in the same pot as those first few, just to try to get them to live until I could bout some good potting soil.

If they thrive after being repotted this time, they'll get this big.

These are more mature plants Gramma ripped up and sent home with us. They were about half this size where we brought 'em home.
They really TOOK.

A little sunshine, feline therapy (I step out on the porch and it's a Hitchcock movie with cats), plant therapy and a big cup of coffee with a packet of hot cocoa stirred in did seem to have done the trick.



Thankee, Spidey.

*GASP*
And yeah. this.

The purple plant in your picture is commonly called Wandering Jew, I think - I used to have one but up here we keep them in the house as summer is short and they would never survive the winter.
Tradescantia pallida

I hope you're all having a good day. Mine has been boring so far, but that's good! Means nothing bad is happening, right?? I do have to go out and about and run some errands, so hopefully that will be uneventful, too! I guess I'm not in the mood for anything terribly exciting today. Lack of sleep, possibly.
Anyway...

(((((Everybody)))))

I wonder how olive oil helps with the 9th one i.e. "Stop Snoring"??

 

[not_nadine]

For husband? I think you pour it and light a match and run.

LOL - Catholic Yoga for the soul. I teach religious ed - known in Protestant circles as Sunday school, but it's a very specific type: Catechesis of the Good Shepherd - it's a marriage of Montessori education and Catholic religious ed for children. Lovely program really. Only 96 hours of training to be certified for a volunteer position. But I do enjoy it. And it was in a lovely old downtown church that was really cool to wander around during breaks. I've got 56 hours done. Aren't you glad you asked?

I enjoy seeing you around here - you're so darn quick witted and funny!

Speaking of quick witted and funny: did I see Neesy on the board today? I must find her!

Aw gee
I feel better now - Thanks! (I needed that)

Today, in the middle of all the household chores (don't ask) we were doing, I started singing

"Every day is a winding road..." But followed up by,
"Every day is a slimy toad"
"Every day is a fiery load"
"Every day is a cyber mode"
"Every day is a slithy tove"

At which point Grandma started giggling, which is a good sign, because one of my daily goals, aside from keeping the heart beating and not forgetting to breathe, is to make her laugh. Hard. At least once per day. I've told her that when the time comes that I'm not terribly functional, just let me know, and I'll go quietly. Today wasn't that day.

Back from a most fabulous weekend. The concert was amazing. Both Alice Cooper and Motley Crue performed awesome shows. Our seats were on the floor, 9th row.....left side of stage, right in front of Nikki Sixx. He blew me a kiss.....he loves me.
I got some decent photos, but most were just, meh because of the lighting, and the artists move really fast.....and maybe someone was too excited to hold the camera steady
I'll post some of the better ones later.

Happy Monday, Y'all!!!! ♥

Good morning!

One kid is out the door, have a few minutes before the 2 young'uns have to be up and moving. Monday. I could have used another few days of weekend.

I have a whole variety of things weighing on my mind and stressing me out. I wish I could get the c'est la vie vibe down.

Taking Brandon to get tags on his other vehicle this morning so he can drive it. Have RJ til around 2 today. Need to get after more big projects. Have to go Thurs morning for jury duty. Unless it settles between now and then.

I hope you all had a great weekend! Sounds like Sunny has us all beat, with hers. Have a really great day today! Big hugs and positive vibes to all!

I don't have any voice.......people around me will celebrate the silence for a day or so.

[not_nadine]

I saw Alice Cooper years and years ago. Fantastic show.
Very theatrical.

Good morning Tet Mates.
August was a busy month. My wife had her mom and brother over for three and half weeks.
A lot of good times. I have been busy. Try to get some painting done when I am able to.
Now it just me, my Mrs., and our two cats.
Between job search I will be painting and keeping the home in order.
Hope all is well. West coast of Washington got hit with a hard storm over the weekend. Lots of rain and wind.
