2010 Flower Pr0n, Edition the Fourth

Sunday, May 9, 2010
Today is Mother's Day, which is traditionally the day to plant here in Colorado, from a weather point of view. I won't be planting though - after our family's traditional Mother's Day brunch at the Fresh Fish Company, I am now obligated to write a paper for my Science, Technology and Markets class. Something I'm not particularly interested in doing, by the way. This class started out in a promising manner, but the nicest thing I can say about it now is "meh."

Yeah. There's $1,900.00 I'll never get back.

In any event, here's this week's Flower Pr0n. Blooms are still pretty sparse here at the Big Yellow House, but I'm hoping that my planned trip to Lowe's this week will rectify that.

This is the ground cover I planted on the south tiers of our home about seven years ago. It's spread and spread, with not a lot of help from me. That's a good thing, as any plant that actually requires my active care is pretty much going to die a slow and painful death around here.


Here's the thyme that grows on the South side of the Big Yellow House in the front. This is another one that spreads pretty well on it's own, and I like the way the flowers look.


The yellow irises my Hot Mom gave me aren't yet ready to bloom, but when they do - man alive, I'm going to be awash in yellow irises. I can live with that, especially since a number of my annuals did not come back this year and I'm going to have to replace them.


I'm going to quit procrastinating now and get to writing my paper. Have a good Sunday and a nice Mother's Day, Hot Chicks and Smart Men.

Made the mistake of stopping off at Lowes after brunch today. :-(

"All these people just need to go away!"

Holy crap! $1,900.00?

Dude, you got.... you know.

I hope you'll get something good from it at some point.

Vince, DU is a private school, and an expensive one. My company pays my tuition (because I gots the great benefits) for the most part, but I pay taxes on the tuition.

This year I'll be paying for one class on my own as I'm maxing my benefit out before the end of the year...
