Where’d everybody go?

May 28, 2007 by Tricia

Wow, seems pretty dead out there. Every site I go to has less comments and less activity than normal today. Are all of my American friends partying it up today?

I don’t even know – Is there a special parade on Memorial Day?

Well, whatever you’re up to, I hope that you’re enjoying your extra day off.

We’re busy here putting in our window air-conditioners because the rest of the week is set to be hot, hot, hot! Along with the heat it tends to get very humid here. I can take one or the other but heat and humidity combined are just too much.

Is it getting warm in your neck of the woods?

A touch of purity

I enjoy the all of my spring flowers but I think I like the white flowers the best. When it grows dark at night I can still see them glowing white in the garden beds. They highlight other plants through the day, and give them cover as they grow. Beautiful, beautiful white tulips.

I hope to get around to all the Green Thumbers sometime tomorrow. Sorry that this post is late but I’ve had a rough day. It’s almost a new day …

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

I’m dragging today

May 27, 2007 by Tricia

I’m sorry that I haven’t yet managed to do my Green Thumb Sunday post. I’ve got so much work to do today that it’s not funny!

Plus, the Crohn’s has reared it’s nasty head so I’m trying to do my work with a massively high fever and abdominal pain that I probably should, but won’t, go to the hospital about. I won’t go because I know it’s the Crohn’s and there isn’t much they can do for me, but put me on more meds and maybe hydrate me a little bit.

I’m sick of doctors, hospitals, appointments and medical tests. I’m sick of the pain too and not being able to eat more than a mouthful of food at a time. It can take me upwards of two to three hours to eat dinner sometimes. I take a few bits and then I have to take a break. By the time I’m about a half hour into a meal it’s getting pretty disgusting because the food is cold and uh often has a different texture than when it’s warm which turns me off the food even more, but you can only heat up a meal so many times before you destroy it that way too.

I think I’ll be lying down for about 24 hours once I’m done my work, and the Green Thumb Sunday post. I probably won’t be visiting any sites today, but if I feel better tomorrow I’ll visit some of my GTS and maybe Do follow people.

I hope my American friends are having a nice long weekend.

Exclusive deals and savings with Home Depots Garden Club Newsletter

May 26, 2007 by Tricia

I’ll bet that some of the people that read this blog are gardeners? Am I right? Or perhaps you might not call yourself a gardener but you do have houseplants, and perhaps a few potted plants on your balcony, patio or in your yard?

Ok, well then, perhaps you might be interested in signing up for Home Depots Garden club Newsletter?

When you sign up you’ll have access to exclusive offers and coupon deals. I love a deal so that alone makes the Garden Club Newsletter sound pretty good to me, but wait there’s more …

Sign up for the newsletter and you’ll also get information about Gardening news, regional gardening reports, gardening tips and a lot more.

I haven’t received a newsletter yet, but I’m pretty sure that the Garden Club Newsletter will contain exclusives and deals not just on plants and supplies related to garden plants but probably on equipment used in and around the garden and yard. So, even if you aren’t a gardener you might still be interested in the newsletter because of the deals that you might get on lawn and yard related equipment.

Sign up now if you’re interested!

Fading, yet colorful tulip

I had a hard time deciding which photo to post today. I’ve been taking a lot of photos of the flowers in my garden and many of the photos are quite lovely.

I decided to post this delicate pink tulip. It was nearing the end of it’s lifespan when I took this photo but it’s floppy petals just looked so attractive that I ended up taking about 20 different photos at various angles.

Do you ever do that when you are photographing something? Take 10 or 20+ photos just to be sure you’ve taken the best photo possible?
