Lists

Anyone keep lists? I am very much a lister. I love making lists...to-dos, wants, etc. Around here, I am not the only one. D likes lists too. In fact he texted me yesterday while I was at work to start making a list of all the trees I want to plant, as well as fruit bushes and vines. I think I'm going to like it here! I am a homesteader at heart, and I have found myself living with others of similar bent. This is a request I will gladly fulfill. :)

D's daughter, who I will call "Teenager" is here now sleeping in the pink room next to my room. It feels somewhat like a college dormitory up here now but she seems very nice and friendly.

Last night we had storms, lots of rain again. The yard needs it so I'm not complaining at all but it was hot and humid up here in the room. Now, the windows are open and a cooler breeze is coming through so it's not bad. As I look at the off white/yellowish walls I am considering the possibilities of painting some of them with murals...or just being really artistic with the walls. I can feel my creativity start to soar.... :)

I took a few pictures of my new digs this morning...well, the digs outside that is. There are a few flowers and trees to share.

This is a pretty dwarf Siberian iris, it needs to be badly divided which I will do after it blooms.

These are the only two plants I rescued with me when I left the x....my grandfather started these from seeds, and I've been growing them ever since, for years. Once is a saguaro and the other is a fish hook cactus.

My chocolate cherry tomato. Because i am not willing to eat store bought tomatoes fresh. I can hand water one well enough.

There are two types of bearded iris growing here along the house. This is a pretty blue one.

A pretty yellow bearded iris.

This is a large flowering mulberry tree. It's huge. D wants to cut it down.

This is the other large tree on the property. I'm not sure what it is.

Leaves of the large mystery tree.

One of the hanging baskets S bought. Isn't this petunia so pretty?

The other hanging basket S bought. I love the yellow and black petunia combo. How fun!

 

Well I better go get started on my list of tree wants! :)
