Into Mulch
I got home from work to find that Management had mulched all of our gardens today.
I have seven, maybe eight sunflowers that survived the mulching. Two don’t look too healthy though.
I don’t know why I bother.

Until this morning I honestly thought that I’d never had chicken pox. My two sisters had, but I knew that somehow I’d miraculously escaped. My mother put it down to the good quarantine protocols she’d set in place when my two sisters contracted the pox. It would seem that I was working under a bit…
Impressions of Life
While walking from the main building to my office yesterday evening, I watched grey storm clouds jostling for position over my head. A red-tail hawk soared into view, surfing the edge of the storm front. Tail and wings fully spread, he could have been a kite without a string. Other birds had taken cover from…
November 4, 2008; The Audacity of Waiting
I stand outside the church, anonymous among neighbors. They know each other. I do not. They speak of new cars, aging houses, children at college and weekend chores. I try to read a book I brought along to help with the wait or I pretend to read while I eavesdrop. The doors to the churchâs…

I spend a fair amount of time outside the main building where I work, walking from point A to point B and then back again. My main route takes me up a steep concrete ramp about forty feet in length. The ramp isn’t cleared of snow when the rest of the plant is cleaned up…
I scored a 35.
Yeah, I know. Another test. This one is really good though. I got it from Nova’s Diary. She says to email it to people, but I don’t do mass e-mails (too close to spam-mail for my taste), so I figured I’d promote it here instead. Here’s an interesting psychology-type test. Give it a try, and…
Freedom of Speech
I have heretofore liked to think that I’m a big proponent of “I may not like what you have to say, but I’ll defend to my death your right to say it”. Recently I’ve been given cause to think more deeply about that sentiment. Do I defend to the death your right to make religious,…
bite your tongue! WINTER? oh no, give me warmth.
of course, my kitties are lounging in A/C. cacti in a window box sounds great!
What about a fruit and cheese tray? Lots of melon, apples, pineapple & grapes with a couple different types of cheese to off set the sweetness of the fruit.
OK, now I’m hungry.

How about a crisp as a goodie option? After reading your post earlier, I got to thinking about what might constitute unusual. I posted one of our favorites; Rhubarb Crisp.
Of course, given your heat wave, ice cream sounds good too. Oooo ice cream over Rhubarb Crisp. yummmm
I like allimom’s suggestion about the fruit and cheese tray. You might add some olives or something to it, also.
Sorry to hear about your pansies. They are fragile where the heat is concerned. Last year was strange though as I managed to get all of mine though the summer looking pretty good *shrugs*.
Well, to put it none too delicately, SHIT. I am assuming that you have asked them to advise you before they do anything like that?
Freakin’ flower killers.
Is this the garden up off your patio or the one with the Canterbury Bells?
Did they give any warning or explanation for why they did this? I would pitch three kinds of a fit to them if that happened to me.
