Mellowed Out Type of Day
Today, the days is a little bit more relaxed around the edges. I went outside and was totally disappointed to see that my red rose bush had lost all its petals. The thing only lasted for like 4 days. There was a time that it did manage to live for more than a week. Then again, it was a bit smaller and there wasn’t a lot of wind. The yellow rose bush does seems to be growing a bunch of new hands. This is a good thing, which means that it is healthy. I am in between feeding the plants...
A Yellow Rose of Mine
Today was like a super long day. We spent the entire day entertaining a Cuban Amish. We were going to try to teach him how to do the website stuff. After giving him a brief summary of everything we do, he discovered that online stuff was not the magic bullet to his problems. I think our little Amish Cuban or Cuban Amish, could do better as a country music star. He already looks like a gringo and he plays the guitar. The tune of his voice is perfect for country and folk music. He could also just sing his favorite,...
Two Pairs of Orchids of Mine
I have been making a bit of progress as far as the website is concerned. I am almost done with the gardening supplies section. I also added a bit of furniture and a grill, just for kicks. There are also a couple of power tools. Aside from the lawnmower and the trimmer, my family really prefers to do this manually. I also do not use any chemical weed killers. I prefer to do things the old fashioned way. It takes a long time to pull weeds with your hand. Still, it is quite more completed around the edges. The photo...
Cute White Flowers
The rains came and it has been quite nice. After not giving it much thought, I decided to move one of the flowers. It grew on its own, but it is a bit of an eyesore. It has been growing on top of the other plants. I am going to put it in the wildflower garden. I finally got around to starting the editing progress of my last book. It might be sometime before I sent it to the printer. My brother who handles my publishing things is currently in school or whatever. The progress takes time. I wish my...
The Elegant Art of Casual Gardening
This is just the long way of saying that this is another gardening blog. I am not much of a gardener. I just photograph my flowers, replant a couple and rake the leaves. I also water my plants daily. I think I am spoiling my plants, but it can’t be helped. I am little bit distracted as all. I am also not particularly happy. I tried racking the leaves, but I was only able to get 10 percent done. Despite this poor progress, I was able to fill an entire garbage can with leaves. The wind and the heat is...
