06.16.2008 :: 166. A weekend with flowers

Weekend of flowers
~Click to see big and wonderful~
I spent a bit of time playing in dirt this weekend. Bethany and I picked out flowers for the flower boxes for the porch and I had a blast planting them. I really stuffed the boxes full but in this short-ish growing season place, I believe that works the best for boxes.
Bethany fell in love with the flowers that I put in the gnome boot planter. God, I love that silly planter! Ahem. I guess I get a KICK out of it.
:cough:
I also purchased some lamb's ears to replace the plant that we had for years and years that croaked off. We all have fond memories of that plant so another will go in and a lupine plant. It's Lisa's fault. I've always had a bit of a fascination with lupines but now? How can I resist? I think it's a bit of a mountain thing which may not make any sense to anyone but me but there it is.
~~
Today Bethany had her wisdom teeth removed, impacted buggers that they were. She's snoozing on the couch kind of chipmunky looking, a bit high on many different drugs that her body has experienced today. It will be a rough couple of days for her but she's a trooper! I'm quite proud of her and ready for a nap myself, not quite aware of the worrying I was doing.

Dave has recommended, nay, COMMANDED that I can sit on the blog here v. there issue for a bit but that I should at the very LEAST back up the blog. Good advice. I will have to learn how to do that! (Told you I was a blogging dummie)

Ahhh. The flowers are beautiful! I love a nice lupine myself. A troll! That's what my garden needs! Thanks for the idea.

Bethany is a lucky duck to have her mommy. My mommy was the best part of my personal impacted wisdom teeth experience.

Back up the blog? Do all blogs have to get backed up? I've never done that. Does typepad do it for me? I hope so! Good luck.

And hugs to Bethany! I've sent all of my kids through that or worse (the youngest had to have a gum transplant from the roof of his own mouth). Hope she feels better soon.

I'm sending Bethany healing, anti-swelling, pain-free thoughts, especially because my own dear 17 year old has his impacted wisdom teeth removal scheduled for this Friday. I am aware of the worrying I'm doing, and it wasn't helped when I tried to google good foods to eat during the post-op period, and ended up getting much more info. than I had bargained for. Hooray for napping & pharmaceuticals.

Your front porch and all those flowers.. Lovely!
So... what ARE those flowers in the gnome boot? :^)
Trust me, I'm a much bigger blogging dummie than you are)
