This Open Road

I've returned

I've returned to the land of the living and now Tiger Cub and Lion Cub are sick.  *sigh*  I had hoped they would avoid catching my germs, but I suppose I knew deep down that it was bound to happen.  We had plans to attend an Earth Day celebration on Saturday (a wildlife hopspital was one of the scheduled attractions), but we sadly missed out.  Tiger Cub was so disappointed.

 

I was able to tolerate the heat enough to work in the garden for a bit yesterday.  It felt incredible to be outdoors!  The Big Kahuna and I discussed my plans to expand the garden.  Hopefully we'll get the supplies we need this week and do the work this coming weekend.  We'll do it lasagna style again and let it cook down over the summer so it'll be ready for planting in mid-August.  Hopefully, and prayerfully, no hurricanes or tropical storms will ruin, damage, or destroy our efforts.  I also determined that my three potted plants ... corn plant, glauca ti, and draceana ... all need larger pots.  I didn't spring that one on the Big Kahuna yet.  I'd love to purchase new pots for all, but there's so much else that needs to be done around here (remember, we're about to enter year 5 on our total house remodel) that they are not a priority.  I need to do some research and see how well they would do planted right in the ground.  I remember the nursery they came from cautioned us not to do that, but I've also learned over the years that you can't believe everything you're told at nurseries. 

Glauca ti...
