I'll never let you go
Jun. 22nd, 2010 01:32 pmI have a new dream in life. To be one of those gardeners who look serene in a floppy hat as they snip at flowers with a pair of secateurs. Right now when I tackle my garden I come inside looking like I've been rolling in the dirt. I go to take a shower and soil falls out of my bra -- every single time -- and really, there may be room to plant potatoes in there but it doesn't mean I want to do so.
We've been to the garden centre this morning, getting flowers and more compost. And I tell you, I'm getting good at hefting compost bags around, if by good I mean I can stagger home from the car holding a corner of the compost bags in each hand. I've potted marigolds and some other flowers, put the peas in a wall container and need to re-pot the carrots again at some point.
On Sunday we moved the greenhouse down onto the actual garden now it's been de-junglefied. It's now outside the window that's next to my computer. Which may be a problem as I suspect the cucumber plant is actually a triffid in disguise. It's more than doubled in size in a week, one day I'm going to look to the side and see it marching toward me, its vines waving in a menacing manner.
Other than that there's been a lot of hanging out in the sun. We went to see the dads on Sunday, went with the in-laws to the beach and park, and was amused when my little nephew wanted Corey to take him on the miniature railway. I wish I'd had my camera to capture his expression as he sat trying to be cool while being towed on the back of a mini steam train.
I still haven't read a BBB story but have been working on the Bob/Mikey story. At this rate it may be finished for big bang sign up season next year.
I've just been commenting about summer songs and have been listening to Summer Hair Forever Young on repeat ever since. I love that song. I should really let it click to the next song, though. Maybe one more listen first -- or two.
Or even three.
ETA: I need an icon of Pete in his bear hat :D
ETA2: Oh man, there's![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
au_bingo. People, I have a problem here.
