...more snow? Not here, just fog, rain and more grey...oh well. California needs any moisture it can get, especially with all of us millions of folks using it faster than Mother Nature can provide...My garden is saturated and that is very good. Yesterday I fertilized and there is evidence of new growth just starting to show. Most of the flowers are 'coastal' so for them 50 degrees or below is so 'not ideal'. Some things look quite awful in fact. Lemon verbena, just on the edge of being an out of door plant here...struggling...
I know, it looks pathetic but it is so wonderful in the summer. Just a quick brush of your hand and the lemon smell almost beats the real thing. And take this little close up look...
Is this sweet or what? (the base of the lemon verbena)
But look at this lavender. In two years it has become a wonderful giant! It is already on the way to wonderfulness in the plant world ~it, too, will smell great as soon as these little beginnings of a flower decide to explode.
But saving the best for last. Last week at work a co-worker announced her retirement. We share a background/interest in Native American heritage. On Tuesday I found these on my chair in my little cubicle ~
Lakota Sioux. I just love them...exactly what the old people did - took new objects and made them their own. AND they fit - they are now my forever good luck shoes.
So here is wishing you a good week and God Bless!
