smythe

I unloaded all of this myself in ~6 hours. Fuck was I weak afterwards.

Turns out I really need a chest of drawers something horrible. And a book case. Craigslist is will make this happen, I can feel it.

I bought myself an orchid. It only had 3 blooms when I got it, now there are 7. It makes me feel rather awesome.


It snowed on my motherfucking birthday.

Two years ago I was in Buffalo and it was 85F/29C. I was drinking strong margaritas and studying for finals. So, it was just fine to have snow and no stress this birthday.

I went to High Tea, demanded champagne. Taught someone the wonders of clotted cream and lemon curd.


Sunday I got to get out and use one of my birthday pressies.


Twas fun. I have only been on a mtn bike once before, so I am not too versed. But I had fun, did some stuff my friends did not expect me to be able to handle. So I was chuffed with myself.

The homestead is still under construction. Just a little more paint and some grout and I think everything will be done this week. Wooohoo!

I planted some veggies last Thursday and within 3 days I already had sprouts!
I am slowly trying to decide what to put around my little patio. There is a really tall tree that I am thinking of putting hydrangeas near. Bleeding hearts along a fence line and lilac or mock orange, or both, in the sunny patch.
