Gardening!

Well, I must say after the last few photo heavy posts, this will be a change. I got my friend to take me to the garden centre last night and will be spending the day planting. I have a couple of other things to do as well so may not get it all done tomorrow, but I certainly hope to.

I got a couple of perennials to put in the bed that I made last year. The management doesn't mind you doing that and I figure if I leave anytime soon, I will just take them to my friends place. Of course, I got the usual annuals as well. I forgot to get lobelia though, so I may have to look for some later, we will see how the pots look.

I didn't get a shade sail to put up, it requires attachment to structurally sound posts, which would entail digging a hole and setting the posts in concrete. THAT the management would frown at. My friend happened to have some old tent posts though from a screen room that bit the dust and I have a cloth that will do the trick, I just need to put some grommets in the corners and drape it over the swing I have.

I will put up before and after pictures once I am done and you can all ooh and ahh at how clever I am :p

Speaking of the need for the cover.....he has found a friend that wants to share an apartment with him and it has to be on the ground floor. I am just hoping that one comes available in the building farthest away...oh, wait, no that would be the office bldg, that won't do. I guess we would have to put him in the bad tenant bldg. We have one bldg out of the four that seems to attract bad tenants, don't know why, but, that is just the way it goes. Just as long as it is soon, and not this bldg, I don't care where he goes.

I hopefully will have a productive day today, I have so much that needs to be done, it is ridiculous!

Have a good day all.

Tying up loose ends.

This is what the office looks like now. Yep, a lot brighter than before, but I really like it.


Of course it doesn't really look like Honey anything, more lemon sherbet, but, after three coats, it is staying this way for awhile. (Yes, Sis, you will recognize the paintings. I figured if there was something decent up, maybe she wouldn't go too tacky.)


This flower popped up in my friends front flower bed (on the North side of her house). anybody have any guesses? We haven't got a clue what it could be, but it is very pretty.


We were walking around taking pictures for Tuesdays challenge and I snapped this and thought it turned out rather well. I should know what the red bush is, but can't think of it right now.



Further to my creepy neighbour. I remembered last night, that there had been a fellow not too long ago in one of the other bldgs that I had to let the cops into his suite. It turns out he wasn't the guy they wanted, but, while I was standing there, I noticed he had a chain (like the kind you attach children's stuffed toys too) hanging in his front closet. From this chain the man had hanging huge knives and a very large butcher's chopping blade. I found out later that he was in fact a butcher, but still, you use that kind of thing at work, and you leave your tools there.

I doubled checked this afternoon at work and it is the same fellow who is now my creepy neighbour! Needless to say, I will be ignoring & avoiding him, and treating him with kid gloves. Our maintenance man said he has been in the suite and there is nothing like that there now, but, on the other hand this guy would know when the maintenance man was coming in.

My friend and I are going tomorrow to buy a Shade Sail, they are on sale at a local chain outlet and I think I can afford it. The best part of that, is it can be put up right away.

I am being asked, very persistently to please go outside, so someone can eat some grass, so I guess that is it for today.

Good evening all.
