It is Friday, and Fridays are for fun. I have really enjoyed gardening this year. We have had to stay home more than usual due to my husband’s illness. This weekend I’ll be finishing up a little landscaping project and planting some bulbs. There really is no place like home.
It is Friday, and Fridays are for fun. Apparently, it is possible to be so bad at driving that people in the cars behind you will cry. They even have a bumper sticker for that.
It is Friday, and Fridays are for fun. I have always been a fan of the Saint Paul Public Library. Ever since childhood, it has been a favorite place, especially in the summer. In my early teens, I used to hop on a city bus with my bestie, and we would go to the library, check out some books, and read in the park (Rice Park) before heading back home for an evening of reading.
I decided to relive my childhood earlier this week with a visit to the library. I checked out several books and brought them to the park, and read for a while. I can spend hours in the library. It is hard to leave.
It is Friday, and Fridays are for fun. I have a collection of coleus plants. I grow them outside in the Summer and indoors in the winter. Most of my plants were stolen. I pinch a stem with a few leaves on it from plants I find in the late fall, shortly before or after the first frost.
Coleus will die in the winter. They are annual plants. I take the stems and put them in water until they grow roots. I plant them in small flower pots and enjoy them all winter. By spring, the plants are large. I cut off stems and propagate some more plants. When it is warm enough, I plant them outside.
I like coleus because it is so easy to grow and it is colorful.
It is Friday, and Fridays are for fun. I am just a little tired of the heat and smoke. I have to remind myself how wonderful it is that I don’t have to shovel snow. Happy August!
It is Friday, and Fridays are for fun. I have always loved to garden. With all of the rain we have had this year, the garden is spectacular. The coneflower plants are almost five feet tall, and the tomato plants are taller.
The monarch butterflies are starting to show up, and so have the bees.
