I have had several people walk by my office asking where my Santa decorations are...I just look at them like they are crazy..What about the turkey...gobble gobble and all that.Besides,I just got the skeletons and spiders off my office door last week.At our house we call Christmas,"the season which must not be named"...that is until after Thanksgiving...This year "that season" will be real different for me.My brother-in-law is from England...so I will be traveling with my sister's family to England where we will celebrate with his mom.I have already started thinking what I will take,where to buy an appropriate piece of luggage.One delimma is that I have to narrow down the choices of books I take.I have it down to 15 but I can only take 2.I narrowed down my magazines from 10 to 3...the winners being,the Renaissance Magazine,Horticulture and Atomic Ranch(50's style,retro home decor).I also have to rethink the gifts I take and the shoes I take (I travel with lots of shoes).
It has been a while since I even looked at my blog.After the haunted greenhouse event and the clean up afterwards,I was scheduled to work on a couple of weekends,plus go to a very long employee banquet..after which I promptly went MIA for a while.Then I had to deal with poison ivy all over myself,going to the doctor,and taking steriods that make me stay up at night and clean the bathroom.Happy to say I am almost back to normal with a free weekend.Jean and I will go buy a rain barrel and look at art.We will also plant bulbs,sweet grass,and work on a bird sanctuary in the back yard....we will ride bikes and eat organic.I love weekends at home.
I saw a t-shirt I wish I had designed.Someone beat me to it.The front has Pirates for Peace with a Johnny Depp looking pirate on the front.On the back is a peace sign made out of bones.Sounds macabre but it really was cool.Kind of like the flag I have that says "girl pirate",which has a pink background with the jolly roger type skull and crossbones.I still would like to design a shirt which says,"prematurely grey" and another which says,"dangerously over educated"....
Thinking alot about plants these days...needeing to brush up on some plant ID.
Here is a great quote for all you gardners out there:
"Watching gardners label their plants,I vow with all beings to practice horticulture and let the plants identify me" Robert Aitken

If at all possible those two books should be paperbacks. Jami can testify that when we go places I carry too many books - however if you have one of those suitcases on rollers, you might be able to carry five books. Enjoy England. Let the plants identify you - nice.
