My maturing garden

Muscari

I can’t believe how much all of the plants in my garden have grown this past week or so.


I’m starting to think that it’s not just the nice weather that we’ve been having, nor the fact that our winter was fairly mild. No, I think it’s because many of the plants that I grow have been in my garden for four or five years so they are maturing and have good root systems so they are just growing in leaps and bounds because they are so strong.

The photo above is of Muscari. Yes the closest one is a bit blurry but you try taking photos of flowers in my windy backyard garden and see how you do! LOL I took that photo about two weeks ago. The muscari is pretty much gone now – gone to seed actually. I have to go out and cut off the old flowers so that they don’t drain the bulbs strength.

How’s your garden coming along this year?





Upgrade computer or buy a new one?

by

I think it’s time to upgrade our old computer that we keep upstairs. I think we bought it in 1998. Maybe we should just scrap it instead of putting money into upgrading it? I don’t know.

The only reason we are keeping it is because we occasionally take on a boarder and when we do it’s nice for them to have a computer in their room. Even if it is old, clunky and slow! Plus, if the boarder or guest were to do something to mess up the computer I’d rather it be the old one that I don’t really care about rather than one that I use daily!

If we upgrade the computer we definitely need to get some more memory for it. We need to get IBM memory since it’s an IBM computer. Arghh … It also needs major software upgrades, but because it has a slower processor we can’t upgrade the Windows XP any further than we already have, and I’m sure some of the other software that we could upgrade on it won’t work either.

It really is sounding more and more like we need a new spare computer doesn’t it?

Caught by the tail

Yes I know, this site isn’t officially part of Wordless Wednesday yet, but I wanted to post this photo! I just love it!

I didn’t take the photo of course. I only wish I did. It has to be staged and photoshopped. If it is, I wonder how many times they had to drop the cat into the fish bowl before they got the photo they wanted?

Have a great Wednesday

Our friend got caught!

by

Wow. We just found out that one of our friends got a big fine for using a radar detector in his car.

They are not legal here in Canada. I think they’re legal in either all or some US States but as far as I know they aren’t legal here in Canada and I now know that you can get a really big fine if you’re caught using one!

I don’t feel all that sorry for our friend. He’s always speeding and a bit of a reckless driver at that. Hopefully now that he can’t use his radar detector he’ll slow down a bit and be more careful.

How do you feel about Radar detectors? Do you use one?

Small re-design of our enclosed back porch

by

I’ve been looking for new blinds for our enclosed back porch. It faces south and it’s just so bright. The room gets really hot with the sun pouring in too, so we must do something.

The room was built by the previous home owners. It has different sized, but large windows on the south facing wall, a window and glass paned door on the east side, windows on the west side – that wall adjoins with our neighbors enclosed back porch so those windows have a privacy film on them, and then the wall that leads to the house is brick.

The actually walls that the windows are in are paneled with a dark wood. I’d like to try my hand at lightly whitewashing those walls to brighten the room … yet put nice white mini-blinds on the windows to cut down the glare from the sun. I think the room would be very welcoming if I could pull it off.

What do you think?
