Wherein We Define "Busy"

greenstorm"Busy" is not having time to check your email once a day. "Busy" is realising that your daytimes are full up for the next two weeks (but if someone wants to spend next weekend with me, come to VanDusen's plant sale, it's awesome and I'll be in the rhodo section). "Busy" is thinking about what to post to your livejournal for a week, but not really having time to post any of it.
So, the highlights that I can remember offhand:
o I have the cutest baby rats in the world. They are here, and home, and Lightning keeps getting her feet messed up because Sweetie's become totally territorial and insecure even though the babies are in a different cage. I'm practicing poly skills by spending lots of time with Sweetie, etc. which is helping her some. he has turned into a real sweetheart and will sit in my lap for hours, which makes me happy too. Helen is still Helen.
o I have been taking tons of pictures. In part it's reminding me of things to tell LJ about, in part there are certain types of pictures I think are neat-- rooftop forests downtown, bits and pieces lying around, reflections in surfaces. Also some things are just awesome, like this:
o I love my contact lenses.
o I finally got to spend some time with Graham. Dammit, how can we both be so busy?
o I got a touch of a sunburn.
o The radishes in my community garden, and the peas, are coming up. I need to plant some chard somewhere. I need to prune the comunity garde's raspberries.
o I met the awesomest guy at the nursery by where Tillie and I will live, and we talked about magnolias with Juggler for a long time, and it was friggin' awesome. Did you know they come in yellow? I didn't. That conversatopm was hot. Also spoken of: climate change as related to olive trees being sold in the nursery and vinyards in the Okanagan.
o There will be some Cotton Candy rhododendrons at the Plant Sale. These are scented, and the best thing ever. Two years ago we had some in, but I didn't exercise my employee priviliges and steal them away before anyone else. I regretted it for two years. Now, I have no qualms. Three days of unpaid volunteering and I deserve to be allowed to pay for these, dammit.
o Food, mmmmr.
o Oh Saturday I didn't get out of bed till 3:30 in the afternoon, which was lovely, cause I won't be doing that again for awhile.
o The floofy cherry blossoms are out. I sat and watched a tree spiral petals fifty feet up into the air the other day. It was unbelievable. Pictures 'turned out' but didn't capture the beauty:
o I am playing with my ratties everyday, so phthbt!
o Juggler is sleeping in the other room, I will go back to bed now for a little bit (at my house, whee)
o I took a series of pictures I've been wanting to take for a long time, I'll get them up soon.

Date: 2006-04-24 08:33 pm (UTC)I remember you all excited about the smelly rhodos - and then you couldn't locate any at the rhodo event. Here's to having a special plant! I worked in the garden pulling weeds for two hours on Saturday. I now have most of my sunny plot covered with landscape fabric, and am hoping to start seeds this week - both in the ground and in jiffy pellets :)
