Yemaya be praised! I've been watching for them for a couple weeks now, and today I finally saw them! Those blessed harbingers of winter's end... the first crocuses are poking up their lovely little green heads in my front yard! No blooms yet but the shoots are definitely there. I can't express how stoked I am to have this sign that the long, brutal winter is almost at an end! YAAAAY CROCUSES!!!

mine are not coming up yet...but I did notice I accidently covered some bulbs on a garden I am working on at someone else' house.

Rule of thumb, don't do rock borders until after the first blooms so you know where the edge is =P

I guess they must be these cause they come up first...? All bulbs look alike when they first shoot

Boshy's tulips are coming in, so yeah, and I've seen fat chummly little fucking robins everywhere.

I've already got my garden planned out too, if you guys had any idea what the fuck I'm fitting into a space that's probably only 20'x20', you'd be shocked.

It Must Be Spring

There was a spider in my shower this morning.

Forget groundhogs; they are warm blooded mammals just like us. I think arachnids are a better indicator of changing weather conditions. First spider of the year means warm weather is near.

OOOOH Spook!!!

I haven't seen a wild spidey yet, this year!! I have seen a few flies, and a couple of yellowjackets, but that's it. Did you get pics? :biggrin:

The weather has definitely broken, as both my chives and chamomile have begun to come up. :)

I LOVE lilacs. I just yoinked a HUGE bouquet of red and white lilacs, from a neighbour's tree. I knocked on the door, and asked politely first, of course. :)

They are just opening up-- fragrant, and lovely. Nothing else in the world smells like this.

Lilacs in full effect, boyeeeee!

Ooooh I so wish I had lilacs in my yard... there is a gorgeous one at work, was just wondering yesterday if a cutting would root. I know next to nothing about this gardening stuff.

I want forsythia too... we had 2 huge ones on either side of the porch steps when I was a cub.

Growing lilac from cutting is difficult, but growing from seed isn't! Wait until long after the flowers are spent, and the seed pods are fully formed; then, gather them up. Plant the seeds in a well-drained area, and there you go. It takes about 5 years for the seedlings to grow into decent-size bushes.

      What Are You Thinking? (cont'd)

      By kat 路 Posted

      My neighbor just caught me sobbing. We live on the 2nd floor and I was sitting on the balcony texting with my son after he told me a story about something terrible that happened at his work this week. Basically,  a man died and the man's mother found him, my son hasn't experienced that type of thing so he's feeling all kinds of things and I just felt his pain as a mother because that is my baby even when he's 50 he's still my baby and I hate that I can't shield him from grief and heartbreak and as a mom knowing a poor mother just saw her baby take his last breathe in a terrible way made me feel how we carry our babies for 10 months,  we watch them grow and they make us so to know a momma had to go through watching her whole world fall apart in a matter of seconds,  minutes, hours, is absolutely soul crushing. Also, I am sleep deprived,  pushing, and perimenopausal so I burst into tears, and didn't realize that someone was around and fuck me I heard a little shuffle and deadass knew that she heard me. So she's like you ok, so I started sobbing more馃槶

      CBD pills

      By SlavicGoth 路 Posted

      The past month and a half I have been dealing with new chronic back pain and the muscle relaxant pills the doctor gave me have been putting me to sleep at work and I've been so drowsy with them. Weed has helped a little but I can't just smoke weed all the time. So I decided to try some CBD pills I picked up this little bottle after a few questions in the store after a few days this week It has made a great noticeable difference on my back. I don't feel very much pain anymore as im moving around work running around from my workbench to the polishing wheels and so on.  I think we should put more funding and research on using CBD for low level pain medication and not opium

      what are you doing right now? (cont'd)

      By TronRP 路 Posted

      Finishing breakfast and getting this day started.  Apparently, my futon won out last night and I don't have much in the way of memory after my head hit the pillow just after 8pm.
