This weekend, in direct result to family stress and work frusration, I turned off the cell phone and spent almost all day Saturday and Sunday mounting an all out assault the yard. The lawn was just sitting there, minding it's own business, doing nothing to deserve being attacked, but I'm sure that it'll get over it.
In between forays, I did pot this up... it's an old china plate, chipped to the point that it's not worth anything, stood up in a planter with some succulents... I'm not really thrilled with it, but I'll let it grow and see how it turns out.
and here's the Datura in the back yard...
and some wild sunflowers that I never have the heart to pull up...
when they go to seed it's fun to watch the local birds feed on the seed heads...so this weekend, while not relaxing, was in a strange way revitalizing... I don't like to talk about it much, but I've always found that I can draw a certain amount of calmness and energy from the earth, soaking it up through my fingers.
But enough of that, I've verging on new age silliness... just dropping by to let everybody know that I'm surviving...
What a great design for the succulent pot! I love the idea of using the plate as a backdrop! Genius!
ReplyDeleteHappy Cactus Monday, Claude!
Hey...it is always good to get out in the fresh air, sun and dirt to calm your nerves and get refreshed, eh??? Of course, I hope it is not as hot at your place as it is here...good Lord!
You always have great ideas! All my sunflowers fell over-I have 2 coming up. Thanks for the Bird ID and the hawk moth!!! I couldn't find a thing on it myself-knew you would come through! Thanks- very interesting!
