Coleus!
This is coleus. This snap was taken in the greenhouse in early spring. In some parts of the world coleus is an annual. In other parts of the world, I imagine it is a nuisance. This snap shows lots of different varieties. I'm sorry, I don't remember any of their names.


Coleus like heat. Some varieties don't do well in bright sun,
but there are new sun-loving varieties too.
Coleus enjoy moist soil, but can dry out a little between waterings.


Around here we use them as accent plants, or as a border.
They make quite a spectacle in big planters.The plants shown
here are about 3"-4" tall and ready to be planted into a 4" or 6" pot and made ready for the wholesale trade. I like coleus because they will put on a show in your garden, and expect very little in return!

Book Tag!

Thom at Thom’s Place 4 Well Whatever (& Other Bullsugar) tagged Quilly with what is called the Book Tag. She passed it on to me.

The rules are:

1. Collect the book that you have most handy: All right-

Entertaining by Martha Stewart

2. Turn to page 161: I have.

3. Find the 5th complete sentence: Got it!

4. Cite the sentence on your blog: “Although I know that many hostesses concern themselves with the liveliness of a dinner party, and so rearrange tables between courses, and sometimes even change rooms to keep things moving, I honestly believe this is unnecessary."

5. Pass it on to 5 other victims : Try it! You'll like it!

Six Word Saturday...

Whhooo-hoooo! I almost forgot!
Here is my life, as of today, in six words:
Gosh darn Birdie, poo-ed my shirt!

Here is Birdie. She is a Jenday conure, given to me by friends. Friends were not amused by Birdies early rising, especially on the weekends!

While I love her, the folks here at home do not. Penny has an terrible time with her, because Birdie has taken to flying onto Penny's back and then biting the shiznit out of her.
Birdie calls to everyone, day and night. Her call is loud, shrill and utterly obnoxious. This does not endear her to the family. Even the neighbors have commented.

Travis (see my avatar, icon whatever it is) and Birdie have come to a mutual understanding.
I think the birds on the outside have clued Birdie in to that fact that Travis murders whenever she can. And I think Penny has told Travis about the sharp, strong beak Birdie possesses.

While Birdie is tame, (too all, excepting Penny) her roommate is not tame and desires to remain so. Roommate has no formal name, so we just call him Him. Him is a cockatiel, dressed in pretty standard grey, with a nice yellow face and orange cheeks. He was born in a barn, with a hundred or so others just like him. Since he was raised by birds and not people, he hates us. That is something we'll just have to live with.

Visit Cate, she is way cool.

My Excellent Adventure...

To recap: Recently, I visited
Friday Harbor, San Juan Island Washington, USA.
I think about that trip everyday. Sometimes, I wish I was back there.
My goal is to return one day, but until then...

This is False Bay. At low tide, it is a sandy, muddy beach.
But at high tide, the beach disappears underwater.
The day I visited, some kids and a dog were frolicking there.
Next time, I will be the one frolicking.

This is South Beach. There's lots of wood, big wood, strewn around.
We had to climb over it to get to the waters edge.
This area was the location of the American Camp.
The camp was created in 1859,
in response to the death of a pig and a border dispute between the U.S. and Britain.
Nearby, one can find the corresponding English camp.

I spent a short time skipping rocks with this character here.
Quickly I realised I would never be able to skip rocks,
into the choppy water, as nicely as
he could. He advised me to practice, practice, practice.
I declined. Instead I chose to lounge around and take snapshots.

This is were I met new friends. Everyone there
was friendly and inquisitive.
But lately I've been wondering, why don't they write?

Still, they were fantastic hosts and I plan to visit again.

Happy Birthday Tam!

Ruby Tuesday...

Ruby Tuesday is brought to you today by Penny!
As you can see, she loves to help around the house. Here you can see her guarding Colleen's pillows
and doing a great, great job!

Penny also does housework.
Here she demonstrates the proper way
to clean out boxes! No one asked her to help, she just jumped right in, grabbed that box off the counter and went to town.

No one can say Penny isn't a team player!
