May. 1st, 2010 10:39 pmI have been so goddamn productive today it's downright frightening. I was up at 8 and running errands for about 3 1/2 hours (yes, you read that correctly). I got home and unpacked the car, changed all the litterboxes, took out the trash and recycling, cleaned then went outside to plant my new acquisitions.
What were those? Well, since you asked I picked up purple ruffled basil because...well...purple basil. A new catnip plant which made Lola and Hachi profoundly happy. Hachi went everywhere gobbling up every bit of it the others left behind. A large basil plant at Trader Joe's because my god, $2.99? Wow. Also did you know there was such a thing as Indian mint? I didn't, but I do now... And I've got these amazing striped lillies popping up around the base of the persimmon tree and I just happened to find some Regal geraniums that matched almost perfectly:
Lillies to the lower left, geraniums to the upper right
I may have also picked up some dahlias because apparently once you start planting flowers it's like opening a floodgate.
And if anyone should need to whip up some Wolfsbane potion, the aconite is currently in bloom:
Lovely, but deadly...
After taking another few whacks at the lemon tree I headed back inside to hang the new lighter living room curtains. Then it was time to tackle the second layer of primer on the hideous turquoise accent wall. I think it's mostly covered but it might need one more layer. I'll get a few more opinions on that. Got all that cleaned up and listed the empty boxes out in the shed on Freecycle which went to a nice Indian couple who are apparently moving in a hurry. Did a load of laundry and got that all put away, then fell on the couch for a few minutes to edit the photos I'd taken earlier in the day.
Hachi, who spent most of the day supervising all the work and offering her sage advice, and of course playing with the stray mice I found under the couch after I moved it, finally fell over and took herself a well deserved nap:
Nappin' kitten
I'm very much considering following her example and falling over myself...
