One of my brothers is in bad trouble. In London. In a psychiatric ward.

I got to the bookstore at 5:01 to pick up my reserved books, they had closed at 5.

I work tomorrow, it won't rain much.

I have some kickass brothers.

My mom's garden, which I helped her plan some, looks kickass, especially my evergreen purple kale hedge (now 2 1/2' tall) seperating the "ornamental" part from the "veggie" part. I was obviously a little ahead of the design curve cause this fall nurseries are selling the exact same kale at maybe a foot and a half high for six or seven dollars each, as ornamentals. Go Greenie edible landscaping powers!

There may be rat babies soon.

I bought a bunch of pots for Angus' deck today at the nursery. I spent a bunch of hours there, wandering and compaaring, and this is gonna look really good. Resume quality. Looking forward to getting them home and planting them up. I love fall nursery sales. LOVE.

Angus feels nice and smells nice. I mean, he generally does, but I've been noticing it a lot lately. Snuggly.

I am quite happy with my garden.

I love my rats lots.

Lady Luck, the traumatically-produced baby of Corn Pops' difficult litter, won best in show marked kitten.

I am almost out of good books to read, but have a bunch under my belt.

Sounds like you've had a lot going on. Sorry to hear about family stress, but glad that there are so many positive things in your day-to-day to balance things out. Yay for rat babies, yay for fall gardening (um....which nursery sale were you at?) and yay for Angus. I still have asparagus seeds clinging to the plants, so let me know if you want me to collect more for your mom's garden.

Hugs!

I was at the Garden Works in Burnaby, by holdom station. Pots on sale, all trees and shrubs on sale. Not much in the way of marked down herbs or anything like that, though they have a TON of blueberry varieties and also some jostaberries redcurrants & white currants. Oh, and they have some goumi, edible lonicera, and... that one with the narrow leaves that's super trendy right now. And a huge number of male kiwis, but I think their females sold out. Ha.

All shrubs and trees are on a sliding scale up to 40% off. No fruit trees to speak of there though.

I would love more of those seeds. Here's crossing my fingers for those babies! Apparently one of the girls in quarantine is gonna pop before quarantine ends, so I hope her foster mom is okay with them. She's fine with some babies, of course.

Seen any nursery sales lately?

*Smile* I bought two Northcrop blueberry and two black currant bushes at Mandeville Garden Works on the same sale! I'm not really tempted by the pots, 'cause I have an issue with remembering to water them. Will pull more of the seeds for you - hopefully this downpour today won't knock them all off of the plants. I'm thinking I might plant a few myself, and see what happens. I'll have more patience now, since I can actually harvest some of my three-year crop next spring.

Also, who wouldn't be fine with babies? Just sorry that you'll miss welcoming them.

Later!
