more randomness

Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 2:57 am

Ya'd think the drywalling was done. I know I certainly did. Then the sun came out, and I find the need to sand back several areas, grump. I think I've been pushing myself too much to get it done, as I've landed with a cold or something. They never last long, but sure throw a loop in my self-imposed schedule. DH was kind enough to take care of my bunny chores, bless him.
I think I'll take up the advice I read here (from cajunbelle?) and start my seeds in flats on top of the fridge. My greenhouse just isn't warm enough yet in early March to get them going, and I haven't been able to locate the heat unit I was looking for. Besides, I turned the cabin into an oil painting studio, and it's still too cluttered to get through all that to the door into the greenhouse side. I really need to rework the door situation. And the roof. Didn't expect the corrugated plastic to degrade so much in just 10 years. But I hammered in some cross braces so it should be good for another season anyway.
Jack is still hanging in there, but he's mostly sleeping. An aspirin in a hotdog when he seems to be hurting is making him comfortable anyway. Haven't made up my mind about getting another dog, since we have plenty of other deterrents from unwelcome intruders, and vet bills really add up. Just taking it as it comes at this point.
Ive been offered a small space to put someof my artwork, and though I have mixed feelings (massive insecurity issues!) I think I'll go for it. See if that's my window.
Daylilies are poking up through the bark mulch, which gives me a much-needed spark whenever I step outside. And the bunny poo is merrily mulching away in the straw as the salts leech away, leaving me with perfect side-dressing. Is the bunny not natures perfect animal? Adorable, gentle, soft, prolific, generous, strong constitutions. Yep, I'm a bunny addict!

I think that you should display your art Mary. I know when I first started going to gift shops with my jewelry I thought, "Everyone is going to laugh at me." Then these shop owners started buying it by the hundreds of dollars and I thought, "Now exactly what was I afraid of." Too bad it didn't last.

I agree about bunnies, how many do you have. I want to get a pair bc bunny poo is just terrific for gardening. I am being opposed on this, but I will win him over in the end. LOL

Mary you will never know if you don't try, so go for it. Besides it could get you out of drywall installation :)
Keep us posted about Jack.

I'm hardly one to talk Mary as I, too, have major insecurity issues about my sketches, but please go ahead and utilise the space you're being offered. You never know what might happen.
I hope Jack has a while longer with you yet and that the asprin keep doing their job.

I think I would love to have a bunny or two. We are limited to one Ursula because she thinks everything else is a pork chop on legs or wings.
Mary, please promise you will share your artwork.
