about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

I made my bed, now I’m going to lie in it

June 30, 2004

The front beds are done! It’s taken five days, but we did it. We moved ten yards of topsoil. four yards of mulch, three very heavy boulders, and planted $500 worth of plants. Up next is to fix the few sprinkler heads that didn’t survive through the winter.

The faerie garden isn’t in yet, but I don’t expect that I’ll get to it this summer. For one thing, I’ve already put $1500+ into the landscaping, and I don’t really want to spend any more on it this year (though I plan on putting the dogrun area and adding some mums this fall.) The other reason is that the shrubs need time to fill in so the faerie garden is hidden. Then there’s my favorite reason which is I’m just too lazy to do any more work out front.

I am very pleased with the results. The plum tree is the focus of the main bed. Surrounding the plum tree is a burning bush, three euonymous plants, two shasta daisy plants, some sort of willow plant, three blue star junipers, and a blue hydrangea. I also dragged in a giant stump which I surrounded with Irish moss. We included two “sculptural” pieces in the main bed. One is a painted gazing ball, and the other is a rope sculpture that I made. Rob refers to my sculpture as the “deranged bunny rabbit.” I’m sure he means that in the nicest possible way.

The other bed is smaller and on the other side of the walk leading to my front porch. The centerpiece there is the rhodedendron bush. We surrounded that with three barberry shrubs, two blue star junipers, and three large boulders. I also planted lavender in two of the sunnier areas, and added some ornamental grasses around the boulders. I also planted some lovely little plants that weren’t tagged around the boulders. The sculptural piece on that side is a metal globe thingy that we got from my mother-in-law when she decided to move to Florida.

I’d post the pictures, but they just don’t do it justice.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
