Taking a stab at this weekend thing.

...my veins. I've got a nascent idea for my LJ Idol entry on that theme. In the meantime... * Happy birthday to me favourite hearty redbearded audiophiliac rapscallion wyldemusick . * Welcomes to new Gentle Readers darkprism and debrafortune . * Yesterday's drive into southeastern MA was absolutely gorgeous.

Think I'd Better Spank Now!

Today's Sparkly Paddle of Birthday Wonderfulness goes into action for wyldemusick . It's your day, hon--hope it's made purely of shiny, awesome, and win, and that the coming year brings you only the finest kinds of finest things, all thrillah and no fillah everywhere you go, with whipped cream, sparkles, and extra kittens! And--this part is mandatory!--don't forget to live forever!

I can't begin to say how good it makes me feel to be able to just step outside and snip off fresh salad and herbs. It didn't even matter that I forgot the sour cream...!

Garden Man, Garden Man, does everything a garden can...

So, on we go, some things going well, some things going slowly, some things just not going at all...although I'm finally seeing some action from the tomatilloes, though less than I'd like. One of the pinto bean plants shriveled up for no apparent reason, but that still leaves two cooking along. I transplanted two tomato plants from Firebucket #3 into a Topsy-Turvy (and given my experience with ...

And now, Gardenin' Gandalf would like to sing "The Ballad Of Barry The Basil"

Welcome aboard, wyldemusick!

Good to see you dropping in here! *high-five!*
