Hanging display in red, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

This is a ‘hanging’ display from this past year’s Philadelphia Flower Show. The different designers really know how to utilize all the space at the Convention Center! These are made of test tubes! Pretty clever! I wonder if any broke when they were hanging them up? The flowers are red carnations. The other elements appear to be wicker or string balls that were spray painted red.

Teeny toad, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

There are a few obvious things that ladies wear, but I won’t get into that for the ‘support‘ theme.

We support wildlife-lots of critters! We see them everyday, from the chunky groundhog munching our sour apples to the delicate butterfly landing on the same named bush.

Barbara is right, this little toad was so cute and I enjoyed taking this photo. I hope he found a nice leaf to sleep under after Bri dropped him in the grass.

By the way, got eye drops to put in 4 times a day called Zylet-some kind of antibiotic. The assistant gave me a sample bottle and I have a prescription. My eye is much clearer today.

Something made me immune to mosquito bites last night. I count 7 of them on one leg and I wasn’t even outside that long to water things! Better use Off next time.

The guys went to Atlantic City with Bri’s dad. They have to go all the over to his house (45 min) and then all the way to get the bus-(about 20 min). Sit on the bus for 2.5 hours or so and leave about 5-6 hours later. Too much traveling for me. Sean seems to like to do this at least once a year. Bri appears not to have left me his car keys and his car has air! My mom said she’s coming out here-no sign of her yet and it’s almost 1 pm. It’s too hot to do anything outside today.

Close up of planter, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

I saw this awesome planter in a nice shady area when I stopped to rest at Longwood Gardens last week. It looks similar to a Aloe, but skinnier like the top of a pineapple. It has an unusual flower! I am bad about writing down names of plants (though this doesn’t look like it is marked), but I am glad I got a photo of this as it came in useful!

Here’s a long shot:

Neat planter

I don’t know if he is giddy from the heat or just acting up for the camera. Thought you’d like to see how he spends his early Friday evenings lately. Sean cuts around the house and Bri gets to do the long and bumpy part of our 1.4 acre lot. The yard ends right about where the truck is. That weedy thing to the left use to be where our garden ended (that’s part of a fence). We decided to go smaller to save work.

Photo Hunt-Bad Hair

So let me explain-That’s me above, 3rd grade-Mrs. Allison’s class at Sandy Bank Elementary School-1967-68. My great aunt Edna decided to give me a home perm-left it on too long-fried my hair! They tried to make it curl on the ends. My grandmom added insult to injury by adding a clashing red bow to my hair. (Mom was probably at work). Seems this was the year I got yelled at in class for chewing my hair too! The pink and green dress was one of the only things my father picked out and gave me in my entire life. I also went to speech class and that was a little humiliating. But, I do remember being one of the only kids in class to be able to draw Snoopy and got many requests to do so. I photoshopped the first one to take out some signs of age and to fix the colors. The second one was just for fun. See, I still like to be artistic. : )

Love to play with Paint Shop! Lots of sites have ‘avatars’, so to just put a plain photo up doesn’t do sometimes. Here’s a few I’ve made over the years. The second one-forget the site, made you into a resemblance of a famous artist’s painting. I named it Mucha-so perhaps him?

A lily has broken off and I made it into a hair ornament.

Happy Birthday Patrick!

Patrick, there on the right with his older brother Dave and my brother Dave (and Mickey) turned 19 today! Hard to believe the curly-haired tyke is now a sophomore at PSU now. We don’t see the family that often and are always glad when we do! Pat drives about a ’65 Galaxy that his dad and his uncle fixed up for him.

Did some gardening with Bri today. I planted some tomatoes and he planted green peppers and a rose bush (named Dolly Parton, so I’m expecting some spectacular blooms!)

~SHOES~

These are tiny brass slippers, about 4″ long. I believe they were meant to be used as ash trays because of the indentation in the back. I guess i found these on a white elephant table-boy, they are green inside!

This is part of the fairy/gnome garden that I just mulched a few days ago. I call it ‘gnomeland’. I dug up a hydrangea and moved it, so I had more room for plants and gnomes! When the plants fill in, it really looks cute seeing those little people ‘hiding’ amongst them. Some of the paint on these to be touched up a bit. Another thing for me to do. : )

My pretty pinkish-orange (not quite salmon) nemesia. I think it’s going to need repotting soon.
