Seed planting

Posted on by

Just a little while ago, I finally got my first few packages of seeds in a circle garden that Brian dug up for me last night. It’s where we use to have a satellite dish (yep, one of those huge ones) and there’s a hunk of cement left there. I did the same thing last year and it looked pretty. I usually plant flower seeds every year anyway. I sprinkled some wildflower seeds in first followed by Cosmos, Zinnias (including lime green ones), and Marigolds. In the center is a raised up little container with colored glass and water. It got dirt in it from the rototiller, so I should have cleaned it out first before I planted anything.
I do have another circle garden for sunflowers. Last year the deer and probably groundhogs too ate almost everything in there. I’ll try again. I just don’t like breaking my back for wildlife who have acres and acres of vegetation behind my house to munch on.
I did a lot of running around today. I mailed off a few items, got a piece of posterboard (the store I went to doesn’t sell uncut mat board), gas (the van was running on fumes), strawberries for a picnic tomorrow at a produce place and finally I hit the grocery store. I can’t stop buying plants! I got some gorgeous geraniums-day glow pink, white with a pinkish center and dark burgundy. I got some coleus-some are similar to a few I saw on a fellow gardener’s blog-reddish orange, but they are a mixture. I also got some feathery celosia. Not many places have the portuluca I want for my yucca bed. I may get Brian to go with me to the garden center tomorrow. He needs to plant tomatoes and green peppers as they are sick of being in their containers. First he should add peat moss and manure. Ah, the joys of country living!

(Thanks Abby for this one)
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You’d like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future… one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You’ll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You’ll do anything for love, but you won’t fall for it easily.

Twitchy eyelid

Posted on by

Anybody ever have this problem and it doesn’t resolve itself in a few days? Mine’s been twitching since Florida. I can actually make it twitch if I ‘over’ blink that eye(right). It’s definitely just the upper lid twitching. Not sure if I rubbed my eye too hard or if it’s just an annoying thing. I may call the eye doctor just to see. Forget about research on the internet, they scare you by saying it could be a ‘neurological problem’. I actually thought it was a PMS thing. Not too sure about that. It seems like parts on the right side of my body tend to bother me the most and I am left-handed. Go figure.

I told you about Sean’s new car, but not that we found several ads quoting the exact car at a much lower price. Without taxes, about $360 less! Brian called the dealership and the manager said that all the ads were misprints. Even the one on the internet. He’s full of you-know-what. So we were debating what to do. Mom mentioned Tracy Davidson, the Consumer Reporter for NBC1o here in Philly. I went to the Consumer complaint form and filled it out. I messed up some of the numbers, but the paperwork wasn’t here in front of me. I forgot Brian had copied it for the insurance company and I went to write back to correct myself and Tracy had written back to confirm our problem. That’s when I quoted her the correct prices. Crossing fingers!!!!
Update:Nothing new from Tracy. Wonder if me quoting the wrong prices messed that up for us?

Off to Penn State to talk to a lady in the Learning Center about Sean’s classes. We still aren’t sure what that is all about. I’ll let you know.
Update: Sean is recommended to participate in an 30 hour ‘seminar’ to help improve mostly his math skills. He can to this from the end of June until August. He’ll probaby go for 5 hour stretches for 6 times. I think they basically want to see if he can handle the math for his major. He was really annoyed at first because ‘his summer would be interrupted’.
