these are cool.

that cat is pretty/handsome.

those are very pretty flowers.  i have a black thumb, unfortunately.  my lady is interested in flowering things and the planting there of.  it's kind of exciting to find out what was planted where in her new yard, as it starts to grow/bloom.  the tomato plant we planted, i htink is dying, and she thinks i'm silly because apparently it has pods on it that will turn into tomatoes or somehting.

is miracle grow and all that junk just wasted money?

Yeah, the cat is very nice too. The color/markings remind me a lot of one of our cats, who is beautiful despite being a holy terror.

Puppies are bullshit (http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/001479.html).



Ok, they aren't, but I couldn't resist.

Lovely photos, AW.

Holy butterflies!  What kind of bush is that?

Also, the icy grass looks otherworldly.

No, it's incredibly easy.  You plant the crowns and two springs later your eating asparagus.

Believe it or not, it's called a "Butterfly Bush".  It's covered with these bunches of white flowers that attract them.  It's pretty, too.

No.  Miracle Grow is just fertilizer, which, when used correctly, is very helpful.
