Good morning. Not much sleep as woke up at 1 from sinuses. Then got them settled and the old dog got me up at 330. I have been trying to catch up on sleep but not successful so decided to do laundry and just caught up here a cold rainy day today.

I hope you're feeling better, B2!

I just recieved two lavender plants from NJ. I hope they grow here in FL. I am on the cusp of Zone 9 and 10 close to the coast. We will see.

I have lavender in a giant pot by my driveway. It lives there all year and has now grown feral. We're zone 8, I think.

We’ve been lucky, we haven’t, although literally our next door neighbor had a problem. (Why him and not us???)

If you’ve tried all natural methods, you may have to go nuclear…

Aren't there any birds or things that eat those bugs?

 

[Lilianna23]

That would require moving, something which I am unable to do at the moment!

You poor thing!

And was there salt or sugar on the rim...

I just made myself blush a little bit

I'm told it was definitely salty!! Blush a little more

Yesterday I drug SheWhoMustBeObeyed

At first read, I thought you literally drugged her! Later, I realized you did! With mimosas!

 

[Lilianna23]

I pulled cork on $5k worth of wine and dumped it down the drain.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You cook with it!

It is at this point I was going to include some pix…but they’re too large and the new iteration/update I can’t figure out how to make the pix smaller? Any help on how to do this…I’ll post them.

I have a Samsung phone. In Gallery, to change the size of the photo, I click on the edit button on the bottom of the page. Then, in edit, there will be three vertical dots in the upper right corner. Click on them and the resize option will show.

IDK how to do this on an iPhone.

The “finished” potting…after the original potting…but It didn’t turn out half bad. You can see the white on the trunk and after the sulfur bath, it should turn a brilliant white. I’m also going to hollow out that knot…or maybe crimp it to make it look like a lighting strike…can’t decide.

The plan is to eventually shrink the pot to make it sort of conform to traditional bonsai esthetics, but I tend to break a LOT of those rules. If it’s a happy tree and thrives I may just leave it another twenty years! . My granddaughter will inherit it!

I love the pictures of your progress! And, this pot is gorgeous!

 

[Lilianna23]

Dammit. You can run but you can't hide.

It's that time for you, now?

 

[Lilianna23]

Well I got that nap and put productive nature into gear. I have finished 5 loads of laundry (due to Airbnb guest), made pear crisp for tomorrow morning brunch and cinnamon oat scones for afternoon tea. I am getting ready to watch baseball on this cold wet rainy day!

So productive!

Get a dachshund .... voles GONE

They hunt them?

Good morning picture-perfect pub people. Happy National Nurses Day!

I am the king of crabbiness. The missus and I donated blood tonght and then went shopping. We got a free box of girlscout gookies for donating, so I should feel better.

But I’m still crabby. I just wanna plant pumpkins and mow lawns.

Sorry, just venting.

Nite all!

I know that chocolate chip gookies are made of chocolate chips. But what are girlscout gookies made of?

My sister's birthday was yesterday. I keep telling her she needs to go to every Cinco de Mayo celebration and tell them it's her birthday!

 

[Lilianna23]

Everything that’s wrong with the medical system.

Fuck them and this question.

Whatever happened to the Hippocratic
Oath? They don’t give a fuck. They just want their money.

Most actually do care. Practices have such thin margins; it's the reason you rarely find single practices anymore. My previous PCP told me she couldn't afford to keep her practice open. Insurance companies only pay for 15 minute office visits. They rarely are just 15 minutes.

Did they take most of the nice W out with your blood and leave irritable W??

 

[Lilianna23]

It is totally fucked and rewards the wrong behaviors.

So true! Providers are paid to try to fix stuff not to prevent things from happening.

Good morning picture-perfect pub people. Happy National Nurses Day!

On behalf of nurses, I thank you! ‍⚕

 

[Lilianna23]

It's just after midnight on National Nurses' Day! If you've ever had any healthcare at all, you can thank a nurse. We do more to care for patients than any other healthcare category.

Have a good Tuesday, everyone! ️

 

[nipplecaresser]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You cook with it!

A world-famous chef once told me, on the subject of wine in cooking, "if you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it"

It’s morning. I need to train this old dog to sleep through the night. I also need coffee:
