More Plant Porn Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow

First, before we get to the plant porn and other things, I owe all of you (my readers) an apology. YES, yes I do. I apologize for not being here and writing or posting anything for the past week or was it two weeks. Whatever, I'm so sorry for leaving you all in the glitch. I've been negligent in posting because I just couldn't make it out of bed sometimes. Yes I blame it on me. I've been down in the dumps lately and it's kinda hard to shake when everything is fucking with you. So, I'm so sorry.

Robin Hood Hedge

 Now on to the other shit. Everything is going great guns in the plant world around here. I have both hanging baskets with my begonias going nuts. This weekend I'll have to fertilize everything under the sun and in the shade too. The robin hood hedge roses are growing crazy wild in their corner. I really didn't expect them to grow at all, but they seem to have thrown that in my face.

Up close and personal with the robin hood hedge

The picture above is the front porch. Knock Out roses are going great as always. The two smaller light green bushes next to the steps are my favorite Gardenias. They are covered with flower buds that should bloom in a few days. The smell from them at night coming into the bedroom window will be unbelievable. I'll have to get pictures of them when it happens.

I moved the cannas from the front yard area under the pecan tree last week. I replanted them in pots and put them in the courtyard. the sunshine is so much better there for them. I'll post pictures of them next week, but these are what they looked like when I replanted them. Poor things are pretty beat up and sickly looking.

In their place along the fence we planted morning glories in every color available. I cant wait to see what comes of that. This is a picture of where we got the cannas from and where the morning glories are coming up now. They're going great guns too so I will be posting a new picture of them also.

 We lost our four bougainvillea plants to the frost this winter and that means I will be on the lookout for some pretty ones again. This time I won't plant them outside. I'll just leave them in their hanging baskets and bring them inside during the cold temperatures.

The veggie garden is going crazy. David and I didn't count on the tomatoes and cucumbers going great gonzos but they proved us wrong. They seem to like the sun pattern there. They get the morning sun and shade shields them from the hot sun in the afternoon, . I'll be posting pictures of them by next week too.

Weird Animal Wednesday

In Which Lucy Wants Attention

Last evening, while David and I were watching TV and talking about the day's happenings a funny thing happened. Now before I get into the story, and this really happened, of what went down last night, I have to let some of the new people know what Lucy and Pebbles (Squirt) are like. 

Lucy the Clown

Lucy is a clown and an attention hog. She has to have all the attention showered upon her or she will find a way to make it happen. Usually something from in the clown realm in which her brain resides.

Pebbles aka Squirt

Pebbles, whom I call Squirt because she's a little thing, is the opposite. She's a quiet, reserved, little wallflower of a chihuahua. She rarely seeks out attention unless she needs to go out or wants dog biscuits. Biscuit Time is set at 6pm, no later and the puppies know this. So they have a tendency to ask repeatedly or listen for the TV music that announces our favorite news program that comes on at 6:00. 

Mmkay, so you have most of the players. David and I were talking about something he read on Yahoo news. As we were talking little Squirt raises up on my knees barely above them and starts begging for biscuits. I'm talking to her, letting her know that it's not time yet. She pushes off my knee and goes into the kitchen. David and I go back to our conversation. It's only 5:40PM.

About 5 minutes later Squirt comes back, sits in front of me and gives a great big sigh and stares at the sealed plastic covered dog biscuit container that is sitting on my desk. I ignore her and David and I continue taking. Squirt is getting tired of waiting so she raises up on my knee again. I turn my attention to her, which is a big mistake for Squirt.

So I'm leaning down to tell Squirt it's not time yet for biscuits when Lucy attacks from behind. I have no idea why Squirt is bouncing and growling until I sit up. Lucy is bouncing around with her paws around poor surprised Squirt's waist. Lucy yanks the unsuspecting chihuahua's body away from my knee and continues to wail on Squirt's little body in full male doggy style abandon. 

Lucy is humping Squirt in such a way that all you see are 2 little black dogs bouncing around on the floor. Squirt is growling and snapping at the air like she's saying to Lucy,"I'm gonna cut a Bitch when you let me go!" And Lucy is flopping around on back legs that can't hold them both up under all the weight. So there is a lot of flopping and humping and growling and loud laughing going on for what seemed like 5 minutes. Then Lucy let's go of Squirt and I see out of the tears from my laughing, both dogs running from the room. Lucy for her life with her tail tucked and Squirt giving chase, barking. I can just only think that Squirt is cussing Lucy out in Spanglish with all the barking going on. Poor David and is laughing so hard from what we just witnessed that he can barely breath. I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying.

Wall Decals Review

I was summoned to the Great Fiery Mountain of Sponsored Posts and Product Reviews by Jane over at Easywalldecal.com to see if she could get me to do a little review of her website's product. Well what the heck, I said sure. She was all happy as a lark and stuff.

Jane's website is offering wall decals for your home, office, or place of business. These are vinyl wall stickers that you can apply to your walls, windows, glass panels, plastic surfaces, metal surfaces, you name it. Just as long as the surface you apply them to is a smooth, nontextured, clean, dry surface. The decals are so easy to apply, and if the instructions aren't clear there is a "How To" on the website support button at the top of the page to help you through it. You just position and apply when ready to do so. Easy peazy pumpkin squeezy!
