What do all these names have in common??

They would all make rockin’ band names. One.

They all describe my brother-in-law and his landscaping. Two.

These are pictures from their house, taken a week ago. Money was spent and care was taken, so he is happy to have them out in the world. I’m sorry, but beyond the lily’s, I don’t know what any of these are called. But they sure are pretty.

Enjoy!

The Neighbor’s Flowers. I imagine they belong to me…

I took the pictures. You can enjoy them. They smell really good too. I can smell them in my yard when the wind is right.

Flower Bed Update! New pictures of green, weedy things!

This is going to encompass a lot of time passage. Since I have been so busy with school I haven’t been able to post these pics that I know you are dying to see.

I know you probably ask yourself every day, “I wonder how those flowers of hers ever turned out? Did they grow? Are they blooming yet? Why haven’t I even heard a peep about them since last month?”

Well, the answer to all your questions lies below.

They have continued to grow in their very natural way and I did take the pictures, but I felt passing my class had to take priority. Flowers are nice for the funeral, but I don’t want to be the one who made it necessary.

Pictures below!

Filled in quite nicely. Still really green though. This is maybe 2 weeks ago.

The other angle. You can just see the first of the white flowers coming in.

See? Exciting huh??

And this is just last week. During the “window” time. Not as impressive as some, but it’s the best I could do with a limited amount of time and money and a shake can of seeds.

Look at all that petal!

Hey! What's that in the middle?

This is some of that "variety" advertised on the can of seeds. It's the first one!

That’s it for now. I guess it’s kind of a sad display. My flowers seem to be taking their own sweet time blooming, but at least now people can see that they are actually there on purpose. That I actually planted something, and didn’t just let the weeds grow over like cheap landscaping.

Check here for the humble beginnings.

And check back later. I’m going to post some real flowers from my neighbor and my brother-in-law.

Flowers make people feel good. Serious.

NOW, I can relax! At least for a few weeks…

July 14, 2009 at 11:24 am (Day to Day, School News) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

It is Tuesday. It was my last class for the summer. Final Exam. I stayed up too late on Sunday. Felt like the flu on Monday. My head and body was aching. I felt feverish. Managed to sleep a few more hours last night and go over as much of the material as possible this morning. Wouldn’t have missed today for anything.

Unofficially, I should have an A for the class. Just barely, but it counts. I missed the required amount to keep me above the A-line. I wish I had missed less. I even changed an answer from the right one to the wrong one! DUH. I hate that.

FYI for the future: Usually your first answer is the correct answer.

If I’ve learned anything in these last 3 years it’s to not second guess yourself. And yet, I did. We are not immune.

Anyway, I will keep it in mind for the next semester. 5 weeks, 5 days and counting.

Thanks to all who encouraged and supported me on the first run. Stay with me! I’m going to need you as the long, cold winter sets in!

Next up Warrior Dash! Should seem like a piece of cake–running and jumping–I don’t even have to win!

Now let’s go have some FUN!
