Picture time

I found this caterpillar last month in the backyard, and brought it inside to show Anna. Of course, it curled into a ball and didn't move, so she just sniffed my fingers and ignored it. I took it back outside and watched it hump around in its cute caterpillar way.

Here are some of my flowers. I planted the bulbs last November. I like fancy tulips.




I planted these in their pots a few weeks ago. I should probably put at least one of them in the front, but right now I really enjoy looking at them on the back step. There are pansies, snapdragons, creeping phlox, alyssum, and daisies.
This is the trellis my dad build for the back of the garage. The clematis in the middle should crawl up the trellis and bloom pretty red flowers. On either side we planted green beans. Not pictured- a small tub where I planted lettuce.
This bunny seems to like that spot, which is just a few feet away from the patio. I saw (probably) the same bunny laying in the same spot today. Anna like to sit very still and watch out the window. It's funny, because the bunny is almost as big as Anna.

I'm pretty excited about the lettuce and green beans. I thought about growing herbs, but I really wouldn't know what to do with them.

Spring is here

I'm going from one thing to another this week. Today was focus at the Lyric from 8-5, then my show call here at Copaken at 5:30. I should be home by nine. Tomorrow and Saturday are all day Lyric, then on Sunday I'll close a show at Copaken then head back to the Lyric for more tech. It should be a profitable week, at least!

It seems Subway is having a promotion with footlongs for $5. I got one at lunch and ate the other half for dinner. Lunch and dinner together cost me about $7.

I'm sick of driving. It used to be fun, but now it just seems like there are too many assholes doing asshole things out there. I want a subway, now.

We watched 28 Days Later last night. I was pleasantly surprised that there weren't cheap scares where something jumps out at you. The story wasn't complex, but it didn't need to be. Also- more Cillian Murphy can't be bad. I'm definitely going to be waiting for Danny Boyle's next movie, since he also directed Sunshine which I loved.

I love flowers! I love going out every day and looking at new growing things. My hens and chicks have decided now is the time to grow bigger. It must be all the rain. I also enjoy daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, irises, and violets. I love that violets grow all over the yard. Purple, light purple, white with purple centers and white. Soon lilacs will bloom. I may have to dig up my plants when we move. I'm getting rather fond of them.

More flowers

The sun was shining, so here are some pictures of my african violets that I took a few minutes ago: (click for big) The purple ones are less blue in real life.

Snowing again!

Dammit! It's supposed to get up to 50 degrees next week, but right now it's snowing again. At least it's pretty. :(

In pleasant news- I just added up how many hours I'll have worked by the end of this week, and it's 45. That means 5 hours of time-and-a-half overtime. Hell yeah.

Here's a picture I took when my african violets just started blooming at the beginning of December: (click for big)
