Two Very Photogenic Sunflowers
Today, I was in a photography type of mood. As such, I went outside for like a second to take a photo of my new sunflower. Much to my dismay, the sunflower was still opening. Still, it looks great for being 90 percent almost fully bloomed. From far away, you can appreciate the height of the sunflower. It is almost as tall as the main door. It’s partner is also pretty tall as well. The rains have not been kind. It has been almost two weeks since I saw a drop of water. Yesterday, I went to water the plants....
Peace and Quiet
Yesterday, I finally got around to publishing another one of my books. This is a collection of short stories. The book is not too long. It is only about 66 pages or so. Each of the short stories are about 3 to 5 pages long. They are all based on silly dreams that I had. Only when the book is already online, I will bother to show you the front cover. Until then, just put up with my nonsense a little longer. I have been noticing some mild damage on the leaves of my rose. I do not see what...
Gardening and then Some
Yesterday, we cleaned the house a bit. After debating it a bit, we decided to clean the bathroom with dish soap. Palmolive to be more exact. It ended up looking quite nice indeed. The problem with cleaning with Clorox is the smell. It is also not good for your lungs. Soap has been used for ages. I think anything else is just overkill. It is not as if we are a science lab trying to sterilize the equipment. At least with soap, it no longer hurts our noses. We have pretty sensitive noses. It runs in the family. When we...
Flowering Stuff and Other Nonsense
Yesterday, we went to the gym to run a for an hour. On the way out, we went to check out our new favorite restaurant. When we got there, it had a flimsy sign that said it was closed. We were like super hungry by then. We had to leave to buy junk at Publix. Overall, it was one of those real big disappointments. I got my cheesecake and went home. The Gregors are back and in pairs too. Every time a neighbor sprays for bugs they come to other houses. This was done about a week ago and the...
The Joy of Gardening and Other Nonsense
Today, all the roses opened. I fed them a bit of water last night. I think mother also fed it before leaving. I decided to save up a bit of water by not watering the others till 4 o clock. This is the time that Florida suggests. They claim they are always running out of water. This place is a freaking swamp. I am also a bit concerned about how much the water is going to cost. I will only find out about it in another month. I hope it doesn’t end up too expensive. Money doesn’t grow on trees...
