Forget a clean house - I'm getting OUTSIDE !! (Another flower tour...)
Posted: Wednesday, 14 February 2007 |
Well...I considered the fact that my handsome farmer husband might be happier with a messy house and a cheery wife vs. a mental wife and a clean house.
So I ditched the attempts at housework and went outside these past two days. (I have to choose between doing a bit of housework or going outside - my ankle isn't ready for both yet.)
And WOW what an improvement in my mood!!!!!!!
Here are some photos of my latest flower tour. I have no idea what most of these are...but that doesn't make them any less delightful!!
(The above is a photo of our wee tomato plants!)

Moo, those tomato plants look etiolated. They need more sun or artificial light. Would be easier to buy strong starters from your island nursery, I should think unless you have a greenhouse with lights.

Ah Ha! two great minds think alike and what a superb two days of garden bliss.

Oh, lovely to see the first signs of Spring isn't it? I did a similar tour a couple of weeks ago and was amazed to find a ROSE in full bloom in a sheltered spot behind a dyke. I was tempted to cut it and bring it indoors, but in the end decided to leave it in it's natural surroundings 'one day of life for a butterfly' etc. Needless to say, in a couple of days the gales had got it and it was gone - but I did take a picture of it!

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, so clean up your act, and maybe, just maybe the stork will start stretching its wings to prepare itself for departure to your homestead.

We are more lovely and more temperate...

Moo's husband may well be Mr. Elton in disguise. Cara sposa and such.

The tomatoes have been getting daily light-box treatment. First we humans bask in the fake sun rays and then we turn the box aroond to the tomatoes. Clean up my act TWS?? I didn't know I was in the Orkney Light Opera!!

Oh well, I tried: the truth is that not all lightbulbs are created equal. Good luck with/to your tomatoes.

I think it's KAOS. Very like ib... mjc - Mr Elton was such a creep, how COULD you? I've just recently enjoyed renewing the acquaintance of Mr Slope who was of the same ilk.

FCj: Yes, Trollope is an incredible writer, and his output was stupendous. In long hand too. AND he had a full time job as well. The production of the Barchester Chronices (91热爆) is always a pleasure to revisit. Mrs. Proudie and the Archdeacon are played wonderfully. # Mr. Elton is handsome and the Eltons get along very well together: they are also an important part of their community.

After further consideration, and after FC pointed it out to me, I beg to withdraw my unfortunate comparison of Moo's husband (whom I am confident is a very nice person) to Mr. Elton. My snide remark was unkind and uncalled for. Apologies.

Ha, ha mjc is in trouble again, you'll get banned if you're not careful. Sorry seems to be the hardest word !!!

Got my edoocatiun from the Irish Christian brothers (and Loreto sisters beforehand). Therefore, I believe in being forgiven, and also that John McCormack was a great tenor. "I'm going to Graceland, Graceland ..." ( a different singer, but what the heck?!).

So...I traded my quiet cabin in the Alaskan woods for the howling winds of Orkney and life on a farm.
