Succulents

Mmm, succulents... squishy moisture-filled leaves, growing in ceramic pots, the foliage overflows down the sides searching for sand... mmmm, tasty...

It's raining. Rain feels good after a long bout of sunshine. I was a bit disappointed that I had to be watering some of my plants this early, so I'm happy to receive this rain.
Baby pea plants are as cute as any baby in the animal kingdom. Mine look fabulous.
I had a chance this weekend to open my home to a friend who seemed to need some uplifting. It feels wonderful to serve beyond my everyday chores.
So far, for my garden, I have bought phlox, dahlias, clematis, astilbe, and black columbine. I am often surprised at how strongly I feel the need to make pretty things. Then I wonder why that seems wrong. Must be my inner child.

It's been a month. Oh dear. I haven't even written in my journal much. What is it that makes me balk at writing words?
I have spent a lot of money at Costco lately. I have spent a lot of time just sitting around with my kids, especially the baby. She has been needy a lot. Isaac has been working late at times and going to meetings for his calling at church. My computer is falling apart.
I have been able to do a good amount of work in my yard. Moved a big pile of very heavy rocks, used them for borders and such.
D is kicking me in the side, so I'm going to stop trying now.
