Project Deux- Garden Expansion Pack

This morning Carrie and I enjoyed a girl's morning out at the fragrant street market and then about town. Our goal was to "mum it up for fall". A goggle bespectacled man was happy to oblige us with our choice of mums (for Carrie) and ivy, astors, and a American Beautyberry for myself. Upon returning home they were placed. View the results.

Everything, and the for sale sign that no one wants.

The Beautyberry is off to the left there. Its going to be awesome.

Project Uno- Let's plant 6 plants and call it a garden!

Joshimi and I have decided to keep a log of home projects we attempt...and so far partially fail at. Project number one, a front garden.

I have loved decorative cabbages since I saw them in the front yard of a beautiful home near Annapolis, Maryland. Here is our paltry attempt.

Plants: $16
Supplies: $ 45
Beer: 1 can Bud Light
Outcome: Dire






$5 shovel from Lowes. CHECK!










Dig like an Amish person.


1/2 our take about to go to ground.


Happy digging!

Out of 5 doggie helpers, the only boy and the
only one to get muddy. That Supertrammpe...

Ahh the grand finale. We need more plants.

Unintentional Traffic Violation

The other day whilst driving to work, I was reflecting on how much I hate Twinkies, and playing out in my mind an elaborate crime drama in which I would escape prosecution based on Twinkie-related evidence. I was so into it that I blatantly ran a stop-light. I await my ticket via the post. No disgustingly cream laden pastry can get me out of this one. Ironic? Perhaps.
