Nothing New, Something New
Nothing New List
- I hate Mondays.
- I love my entire family, each one. That hasn’t changed.
- I’m still grumpy—and a little sleepy and dopey.
- Missouri humidity still curls my hair.
- I’m still awesome.
Something New List
I planted Petunias in a stump that is rotting where the metal owl lives. (I hope Petunias like rot.) I also planted two metal sunflowers, one died, but one lived.
In the backyard, I put a pot of Impatiens in a (wash) tub. I hung the tub by a handle on the hook of a pole that I shoved in the ground. (An earthquake happened later causing the pot to become
crooked. Really! Not really, but it could happen.)
A gnome now cheers me on as I enter my screened breezeway. (He talks,
too, but that’s in my head.)
Last week, I wrote nothing new, but rewriting--something new.

We like to take more interest in our gardens at this time of year. Yours is not so different from ours in England - we have a big tree stump, too. I'll try Petunias.
I put some impatiens on my front porch...and they look terrible now! I think I have the kiss of death when it comes to flowers. I suspect that slugs got in the flowerpots. :(
I like your new "about me" picture!
What does the gnome say...?

Love the quirkiness of your garden and the way your mind works around plants ... metal sunflowers - I guess they got sunspot ... but I love owl and the petunias should do well ...
Mr Gnome looks like a good talker .. and I guess keeps an eye on you .. he must worry about earthquakes resulting in a bell-ringing swinging wash-tub ...
Have a fun weekend and many thoughts across the pond .. cheers Hilary
