Gorgeous Friday

* Gardening for hours, transplanted an olive tree, involving much digging (literally my arse off)

*Complementary makeover from a quite lovely clinique girl (though not quiet)

*Dinner with my darling; we didn't have the snails but we did cuddle a frenchman (who, incidentally, had me hold a giant bar of belgian chocolate...

New Seeds

Oh Palmers, how i love to throw my money at thee... i had such good intentions, but $67 later i have ANOTHER huge tray of icelandic poppies, three of ranunculus, and some VERY exciting new seeds! Yay yay yay i have SO been wanting to try some lisianthus, apparently very good sellers but very tricky to grow well... oh well worth a shot. Feeling more than slightly guilty but also overly orgasmic right now, bloomaholic mwah? I will make it up to Sean, partly when my flower stall makes MILLIONS and partly tonight when i lavish him with some of the friskiness this mini spending-spree has rubbed up.

So gorgeous.

He claims anything with blue flowers as his own, and i am hoping to entice him into eating salad this spring by scattering this precious blue stars through the lettuce leaves. Apparently they taste like cucumber, i am yet to find out for myself.

We have been keeping our fire cranking, so nice for stories and finger games. I found a cool book called "Heaven on Earth" which i strive to create for my family especially its young children, this book contains many secrets and whispers to spur me on in my efforts, no matter how jaded i become by the enormity of the task. It also helps to have glimpses such as this of how it could indeed be possible...
