I'm Not Crazy

I am treating our front lawn with compost/bunny poo tea because of the Weed and Feed incident (don't get me started). I made the tea in a large bucket in the back yard near a rain barrel. I simply dip my watering can into the tea, take it out front and pore it on a bare patch of lawn. There are many bare patches so this is taking quite a few trips. Suddenly, I noticed that the ladies in the school pick up line are looking at me funny. I am guessing they think I am trying to water my whole lawn one watering can at a time the day after a nice rain. Now, how do you think they would react if they new exactly what I am up too? Wonder if they know the benefits of bunny poo tea? I think I'll stay in the house until all the children are picked up from school. Wouldn't want them to alert the mental health officials.

The Sock Saga Continues

Just when we thought the weirdness with the socks had stopped, some Monkey or another went out into my garden, took off one of their socks and planted it. I cannot get a confession, but one of them has only one sock on and I'm going to figure it out. Somebody help me.

Most Excellent Girl Friend Playing with Her Food

 

This picture is exactly why you should not assume that working in a library would be a boring job. We attended a fish fry/crawdad boil fund raiser for a dear friend who has cancer. The local support was amazing. I am very proud to be a member of this community.

Recycling Project

I recently made a denim quilt from worn out blue jeans. The quilt was put in the silent auction of the KCMGA Spring Seminar. The material for the quilt came from the legs of the jeans. The top and seams are left. What to do? Throw them out? Give up and cry? Nope, I make outdoor garden bags for them. Now, I suppose you could put some potting soil in these suckers and it would be pretty cute. I use them to hold random stuff like tools, fertilizer, my teeth (kidding).

Simply sew a seem across the bottom and use left over seams as straps.

Just a Few Things

The first picture is my new baby pot of sedum, echiveria and semper vivum. probably spelled a couple of those wrong, but you don't come here for spelling and grammar;)

The next picture is my Angel Face rose. I love that rose, but it is a fussy hybrid and the bush always looks terrible. Give me an heirloom rose any day.

Finally, Baby Monkey turned 11 this week.

Happy Spring Y'all.

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day. If you do nothing else in the coming year to help our environment, please consider composting. Never ever throw you vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, or tea bags into a landfill, it is just wrong and easy to avoid.
