This is the side of my garage. There used to be a rock, and a broken clay pot sitting on those shelves. From the previous owner, I might add. So, I bought those pots on sale at a local nursery and added those things with the petals to give it some flare. I am in love with the yellow pot with the purple flowers. It makes me smile, so I suppose if this experimental dip into gardening ends up being a complete bust I can at least say that I've gained some smiles.
We also cleaned out the area to the side of our house. This area was so disgusting that not even our dogs would go back there. It was fully covered with dead leaves, some old ground border stuff, some old cracking plastic piping, and two tree stumps that had to be axed out...
And one day the whole side yard will look like this...
I've also decided to give a go at having an herb/vegetable garden. I've planted no veggies yet, as winter gardens don't plant until late-september, but I did put the herbs in some dirt and damned if they didn't attracted some f-ing white flies two days later. I am in a fight to the death with these white flies, and something much larger than a white fly is eating my basil... but I have hope that I will prevail. Bugs be damned!
In non-garden news, I was forwarded this link and think that it's important we all remember that our predecessors did not fight for our right to vote so that we could blindly vote for anything with tits... this lady's a lunatic!
On the push-up front, I made it to ten in a row baby!
No real new knitting news... except that I've finished the third ball of yarn, and only have one left so hopefully the scarf will be long enough. The goal is to finish the scarf and the Isabella top before I go to Jenner so that I can buy new projects while I'm out!
Mia and Merlin hope you take their lead and sniff out your favorite buddy this weekend! Happy Friday!
