My Gross Out List

There are three things that cause an almost instant gag reflex for me.  In no particular order (because there power to affect me changes from time to time) they are: boogers/ mucus, feathers, and hair (specifically hair that is no longer attached to anyone).

Today though, in just under one hour, I am going to pick up a bag of human hair.  I'm going to put it in my car, drive home, and then with gloved hands, place it in my garden and around my plants.  I get gurgley just thinking about it, but I've convinced myself that if I wear gloves and go to my happy place, I can do it.

Art can be scary.

Here's hoping.  It's supposed to be amazing for plants.  It provides moisture, nutrients, and the smell is supposed to repel fuzzy little scavengers.  Don't believe me?  Look it up.  Also read about SmartGrow.

Smooches,

Where I left off...

The third bed went in and now I'm contemplating a 4th.

We cherpumpled, but since pumpkin didn't make it it was only cherple, but still.

I went with the zig.

Now that I've committed and have a low temp glue gun, it's really coming along.

FINALLY!  A good vegan meringue!  These are citrus flavor.

So, lots happening.  This is a short update through the highlight pictures.  Recipes and tutorials to follow.  I'm great at doing, good at photo documenting, and not so great at keeping up with the blogging.  Oh, well.

xoxo,

Pin Me

I started a Pinterest and it's kind of neat.  Check out my bedroom ideas for my currently neglected basement room (more of a winter project since summer is seasonal here).

The room as it is now:

                                       

 This is what I'm running away from.

And finally, a small peek of the garden progress.  The second bed is built, but not installed.  My poison ivy came back with a vengeance (after 17 days of medication) and the heat index went crazy, scary, unbreathably high.  So, the frame is still sitting there after being built last weekend.  I'm hoping to get this in the ground and full of dirt this weekend.  I'm also participating in a 2 day yard sale though.  I VERY much need the opportunity to get rid of things, but I've never done a yard sale before...EEEkkkkk.  I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.  The invite to participate was last minute and the week has been crazy busy.

Hug, kiss, squeeze... xoxo...

 

  

The Picture Issue

The re-emergence of poison ivy and the heat index of 112 have forced me inside for a few days.  Not to say that I haven't accomplished anything, but I haven't done as much as I would like to.  I did recently take some pictures of things that I like though.

My favorite bicycle.  It's always parked in the same spot so I think maybe the owner lives in the building that the bike is usually in front of.

A small raised bed slow food garden for RBistro.

I enjoy the heavy hardware used on the beds.

This view of the garden includes my favorite thing there; a tree trunk as a container.

The unidentified flower that is growing along the side of the house.  This flower has an incredible structure.

IMA Ampitheater birthday movie date.  Not my birthday, but his.

Updates on the lawn progress and less poison ivy soon.
